Back home you need to recheck your
bike thoroughly once again. The damaged
parts must be repaired. Ask your bicycle
dealer for help.
Deformed components, especially those
made of aluminum, can break without
previous warning. They may not be
repaired, i.e. straightened, as the immi-
nent risk of breakage will remain. This
applies in particular to the fork, the han-
dlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat
post and the pedals. When in doubt, it
is always recommendable to have these
components replaced, as your safety
comes fi rst. Ask your bicycle dealer for
help.
