Basic information
As with all mechanical components, bicycle components are subject
to wear. High levels of strain and improper use exacerbate wear.
Different materials wear out at different rates.
Only a specialist dealer is able to assess wear on components
made of aluminium, carbon or composite materials.
Heavy blows, shocks and excessive tension can cause damage to
frames, forks and wheels made of carbon and composite materials.
The inner structure of the materials undergoes detrimental changes
without showing any visible signs.
• Consult your specialist dealer about the wearing parts of
your bicycle.
• Regularly check the condition of all wearing parts.
•
Maintain the wearing parts on a regular basis.
4.6 Carbon components
WaRninG
Invisible cracks and distortion of carbon components.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Always get carbon components checked over by a
specialist dealer after falls, overloading and heavy
impacts.
noTiCe
Increased wear and tear caused by incorrect care and
maintenance of carbon components.
Risk of damage!
• Do not allow carbon components to come into contact
with grease and oil.
4.6.1 Protection against theft
• Protect your bicycle against theft.
•
For models with a frame lock: If you are not able to keep
watch over your bicycle, lock it up using the frame lock.
note: For effective protection against theft, use a chain lock or
steel cable lock and attach the bicycle to a fixed object, e.g. to a
bicycle stand.
The frame lock does not provide sufficient protection against theft.
4.6.2 Permissible total weight
• If you own an e-bike, read the separate user manual on its
drive system to learn the permissible total weight.
4.6.2.1 Weight when empty and permissible total
weight
• Determine the unladen weight of your bicycle by weighing it,
with all optional extra equipment attached as appropriate.
