We have come up with a quick release seat latch for the Cannondales. This is an easy to install latch without the removal of the stock seat posts.
The kit retails for $39.95 or $37.95 with the Cannondaleriders discount.
Here are a few of the steps for the install:

step 1: This one explains itself!

Step 3: Drill out the plastic to 1 1/8" We use a 7/8" unibit then use a dremel tool with a grinding wheel to open it up.

Step 8: Use small screwdriver to tighten the post into the seat (I like the hole to be parallel with the quad)
