The special properties of carbon

Always tighten carbon parts to the prescribed torque.
Damages to carbon components might not show up immediately. If in doubt, please consult a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Carbon parts have a limited lifespan. Handlebars, seat posts, stems, cranks and wheels made from carbon should be
replaced regularly (e.g. every three years).
Heat permanently damages the carbon structure. Carbon parts must not be stored close to heat sources or in a vehicle in
direct sunlight.
