What it is
This kit contains the:
- main pivot hardware,
- shock link pivot hardware,
- and related fasteners/spacers
used in the rear suspension linkage of the Scalpel Si platform.
Purpose
The hardware connects:
- rear triangle pivots,
- linkage assemblies,
- and shock mounting points
while allowing smooth suspension movement.
Why replacement matters
Pivot hardware wears over time due to:
- mud and water contamination,
- repeated suspension movement,
- bearing wear,
- heavy riding loads,
- and repeated servicing/removal.
Replacing worn hardware can:
- remove play in the linkage,
- improve suspension feel,
- reduce creaking,
- restore frame stiffness and alignment.
Typical use cases
This kit is commonly used for:
- suspension overhauls,
- bearing replacement services,
- crash-damaged hardware replacement,
- preventative maintenance on older Scalpel Si bikes.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for:
- Cannondale Scalpel Si models
Compatibility can vary depending on:
- frame year,
- carbon vs alloy frame,
- linkage generation.
Important note
Because Cannondale often uses:
- proprietary pivot dimensions,
- specific axle hardware,
- and model-specific spacers,
using the correct OEM hardware kit is important for:
- proper torque,
- bearing preload,
- suspension alignment,
- and long-term durability.
Best suited for
- XC riders
- Marathon MTB riders
- Mechanics servicing Scalpel Si frames
- Riders restoring suspension performance
Bottom line
This is an OEM suspension pivot hardware replacement kit designed to restore proper linkage function, stiffness, and reliability on Cannondale Scalpel Si mountain bikes.
