8. Finally, take a good look at the whole CENTURION
pedelec
(f)
to detect any deformations, color
changes or cracks
(g)
.
Ride back very carefully by taking the shortest
route possible, even if your CENTURION pedelec
went through this check without any problems.
Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride
your pedelec out of the saddle. If you are in doubt
about the performance of your CENTURION
pedelec, have yourself picked up by car instead
of taking any risk.
Back home you need to check your CENTURION
pedelec thoroughly. Damaged parts must be re-
paired or replaced. Ask your CENTURION dealer
for advice.
G
Deformed components, especially com-
ponents made of aluminum, can break
without previous warning. They must
not be repaired, i.e. straightened, as this will not
reduce the imminent risk of breakage. This ap-
plies in particular to the fork, the handlebars, the
stem, the cranks, the seat post and the pedals.
When in doubt, it is always the better choice for
your safety to have these parts replaced. Ask
your CENTURION dealer for advice.
G
If your CENTURION pedelec is assem-
bled with carbon components
(h)
, it is
imperative that you have it checked by
your CENTURION dealer after an accident or
similar incident. Carbon is extremely strong and
durable with very low weight, making it perfect
for the production of high-performance parts.
However, one of the inherent properties of car-
bon is that possible overstress may compromise
the inner carbon-fiber structure without showing
any visible deformation, as is the case with steel
or aluminum. A damaged component can fail
without previous warning. Risk of an accident!
A
After an accident or after your
CENTURION pedelec has toppled over,
make it a rule to check the functioning
and in particular the limit stop of the rear derail-
leur.

ponents see the chapter “Special char-
acteristics of carbon” in your compre-
hensive original CENTURION user manual as well

turers on the enclosed CENTURION CD-ROM.
