Intended use
WARNING
Any use other than that intended can cause accidents resulting in death or serious injury.
THM-Clavicula crank systems have been exclusively designed
- for installation on standard racing cycles, time trial and mountain bikes.
- for the permitted area of application – see
Application area , page 11.
Fundamental safety precautions
The following warnings for the THM-Clavicula component apply to all Clavicula models
(Clavicula Road, Clavicula MTB etc.), unless otherwise specified.
For the time being we limit the service life of your THM-Clavicula crank system to
100,000 km or 10 years. It is imperative you contact us before continuing to use your
THM-Clavicula crank system after one of these limits has expired!
Always remember that riding a bicycle involves potential danger for the rider and other
road users, as well as for the bicycle and its components. Even if protective equipment
and safety devices are used, accidents resulting in death or serious injury can still occur.
You should also rely on your common sense and avoid any unreasonable behaviour!
Assembly & maintenance
WARNING
Risk of accident caused by assembly and maintenance work which has not been con-
ducted in a professional manner.
-Do not overestimate your technical ability. All assembly and maintenance work should
be performed by a specialist workshop for bicycles. This is the only way to ensure that
work is conducted in a professional manner.
-Always observe all of the specified tightening torques for the screw connections.
-Only use suitable, undamaged, high-quality tools.
-Only ever use original THM components which are available from your specialist dealer
or directly from THM.
-Never make any modifications to your THM components.
-Check your crank system (incl. cranks, bottom bracket, chainwheels) to make sure it is
undamaged and functioning properly before every ride. Send us your THM-Clavicula
component before further use if damage is visible (cracks, fractures, deformations, etc.)
or if you are in any doubt about its functionality.
-Check your THM components before each journey to ensure the surfaces are completely
undamaged. Send us your THM components for inspection before further use if damage
is visible (deep scratches in the paintwork which extend into the carbon structure, large
abrasions, etc.), if you are in any doubt about their functionality or if the Clavicula let-
tering is abraded at one or more points (wear indicator).
-Always ensure your bicycle is maintained in a flawless condition. Care and maintenance
will prolong the service life of your bicycle and its components and also improve your
personal safety.
