BiCyCle RePaiR / WoRk stands
The clamping jaws of a bike stand can generate a
crushing force strong enough to seriously damage
your frame. See next figure.
CaUtion
Never place your bike in a bike stand by clamping
the frame.
Place your bike in a stand by extending the seat
post and positioning the stand clamp on the
extended seat post. Don’t extend beyond the
MINIMUM INSERT line marked on the seat post.
Since your carbon seat post can also be damaged
by clamping force, adjust the stand clamp for the
minimum clamping force needed to secure the
bike.
Also, before clamping, clean the post and protect
the seat post finish with a rag.

CaUtion
“Sealed” components (such as HeadShok and
Lefty forks, headsets, bottom brackets and hubs)
are effective at keeping mud and grit out of your
bearings.
However, any bike that is submerged or exposed
to large amounts of water will require a complete
bearing overhaul to prevent extensive—and
expensive—damage.

• Protect your carbon bike from extreme
temperatures when storing or transporting it.
• Allow your bike to cool off or warm up before you
ride
• Do not store your bike in places where the
temperature will exceed 66.5C° (150°F).
For example, do not leave your bike lying flat in
a black pickup truck bed in the desert sun, or,
under the glass of a hatchback auto.
