1.5 THE SPECIAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON
Carbon components must not be subjected to pressure. Always tighten carbon parts to the prescribed torque.
Damage to carbon components is not necessarily immediately visible. In case of doubt or uncertainty, the steelworks
service or a competent bicycle mechanic must be consulted.
Carbon parts have a limited lifespan. Carbon handlebars, stem, saddle, fork and wheels should be replaced at
regular intervals according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Intense heat permanently damages the carbon structure. Carbon parts must not be stored close to heat sources or
in a vehicle in direct sunlight.
