mAnuFActuring Process
for standard racing bike brakes (or disc
brakes in the case of the MTB). The
maximum permissible torque when fitting
brakes is 8 Nm (min. 7 Nm). The maximum
permissible rear wheel disc size for the
carbon hardtail frame is 160 mmand that
for the carbon Fully frame is 180 mm, or
160 mmfor the AMS Super HPC.
2. 7. — Dropout
The maximum torque for fitting the
gears to the derailleur hanger is 8 Nm
(min. 7 Nm (see Pages 11/12).
2. 8. — Bottle holder inserts
The threaded inserts on your carbon
frame are designed for fixing standard
bottle holders with an M5 thread and
other thread sizes are impermissible.
The maximum torque of bottle holder
fixing screws is 5 Nm (min. 4 Nm) (see
Pages 11/12). Carbon frames are approved
for bottle holders which can take a
750ml capacity bottle.
2. 9. — Roller training.
Your carbon frame is a high-perform-
ance lightweight assembly.
•
The carbon frame must NOT be
used for roller training on so-called
fixed rollers (Tacx, Elite, etc.).
The fixed loading of the dropouts and
quick-release axle differs greatly from
the stress occurring during riding and
can lead to damage in the vicinity of the
dropouts/rear assembly.
Use on a loose roller without any fixed
tensioning of the frame is permissible.
2. 10. —Transportation
When transporting your carbon frame
and (full) carbon forks particular care
is required, as this can give rise to
stresses which never occur when riding
and which could therefore damage your
frame. The following should therefore
be noted:
•
Transporting your carbon frame
with carrier systems which use
clamping elements for fixing and
retaining the frame tubes is imper-
missible as the clamping forces
of the fixing elements can cause
damage to the frame/forks tubing
•
During transportation do not place
any objects on the frame and forks
and stow so that they cannot slip.
•
When transporting with the front
or rear wheel removed it is rec-
ommended that a distance piece
is inserted instead of the hub in
the rear assembly (racing bike
130 mm, MTB 135 mm) and in the
forks (100 mm) in order to prevent
damage.
•
When travelling by air or on jour-
neys where the “bicycle“ luggage
item is not checked with regard to
damage-free stowage, adequate
protection of the frame and forks
must be ensured (e.g. by using
suitable hard-top cases etc.)
