THE SPECIAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON

Carbon frames must not be clamped (e.g. into a work stand) or subjected to pressure in any other way. Always tighten carbon parts to the prescribed torque. Damage to carbon components is not necessarily
immediately visi ble. If in doubt, 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). Intense heat permanently damages the carbon structure. Carbon parts must not be stored close to heat sources or in a vehicle in direct sunlight.
