Wear
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
If excessive wear and material fatigue have taken place,
and if screw connections have come loose, there is an
increased risk of accident and injury.
• Regularly check the condition of all components
(see chapter “Maintenance”).
• If any parts show signs of cracks or discolouration have
them checked by your specialist dealer immediately.
• Have your bicycle checked regularly by your specialist
dealer, especially if the bicycle is used intensively.
• Do not use the bicycle if you notice excessive wear or
loose screw connections.
As with all mechanical components, bicycle components are
subject to wear. High levels of strain and improper use exac-
erbate wear. Different materials wear differently.
• Consult your specialist dealer on the wear parts of your
bicycle.
• Regularly check the condition of all wear parts
(see chapter “Before each ride” and “Maintenance”).
• Maintain the wear parts on a regular basis
(see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”).
