Safety
WARNING:
- As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components might react to wear or stress fatigue in different
ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries or death to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches, or change of
colouring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced. Additionally, after a crash or impact even without visible
damage –affected components should be replaced or a professional opinion should be sought.
- For composite components for example the frame, impact damage is often invisible to the user. In the event of any impact you should stop using the bicycle immediately and
return affected components to the manufacturer for inspection. Failure to do so may result in catastrophic failure and injury or death.
