F.2 FATIGUE IS NOT A PERFECTLY
PREDICTABLE SCIENCE
Fatigue is not a perfectly predictable science, but here are some
general factors to help you and your dealer determine how often
your bicycle should be inspected. The more you fit the "shorten
product life" profile, the more frequent your need to inspect.
The more you fit the "lengthen product life" profile, the less
frequent your need to inspect.
F.2.1 Factors that Shorten Product Life:
Hard, harsh riding style
"Hits", crashes, jumps, other "shots" to the bike
High mileage
Higher body weight
Stronger, more fit, more aggressive rider
Corrosive environment (wet, salt air, winter road salt,
accumulated sweat)
Presence of abrasive mud, dirt, sand, soil in riding environment
F.2.2 Factors that Lengthen Product Life:
Smooth, fluid riding style
No "hits", crashes, jumps, other "shots" to the bike
Low mileage
Lower body weight
Less aggressive rider
Non-corrosive environment (dry, salt-free air)
Clean riding environment
