1.2 Target group

This manual is intended for you, the owner of the ROSE bike.
Assembly and maintenance works require basic knowledge in bicycle technology. If in doubt, please consult a qualified
bicycle mechanic. Improper assembly or maintenance of your bike may result in serious injury or death!

1.3 Requirements for the rider

The rider must be mentally and physically able to safely operate the bicycle over a longer period of time and longer
distances. For newcomers and those getting back into cycling after a long time, special cycle training programmes are
recommended.

1.4 Component manufacturer manuals

This manual contains all information you need for a safe use of your bike. However, in addition to this manual, the
documents supplied with your bike also include some product information or manuals from various component
manufacturers. If the need arises, you can use those documents to find further information on the respective product, its
assembly and setup. The owner's manuals of some manufacturers might only be available online.

1.5 Tools

All work on your bicycle requires the use of appropriate tools. Nuts and bolts must all be tightened using an appropriate
torque wrench.
A proper installation and removal of components can only be guaranteed when using perfectly functioning and undamaged
tools.

1.6 The special properties of carbon

Carbon frames must not be clamped (e.g. into a workstand) or subjected to pressure in any other way. Always tighten
carbon parts to the prescribed torque.
Damages to carbon components might not show up immediately. If in doubt, please consult a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Carbon parts have a limited lifespan. Handlebars, seat posts, stems, cranks and wheels made from carbon should be
replaced regularly (e.g. every three years). We recommend replacing ROSE frames and forks made from carbon every six
years.
Heat permanently damages the carbon structure. Carbon parts must not be stored close to heat sources or in a vehicle in
direct sunlight.
