• Avoid contact with hard or sharp items. Do not rest your bike with the top tube of the frame against a column
or corner of a building.
• When xing the wheel, place the entire bike in a stand and clamp the seatpost and avoid high side loads; this
especially applies when replacing the bottom bracket and cranks/crankset. High loads can lead to damage
of the seatpost or frame.
• When transporting the bike on a car, use a bike carrier that xes the bike using the seatpost or front wheel
axle. Do not x the bike to the frame.
• Frames are not suitable for use on stationary bicycles xed to the
rear stay. The bike then cannot move, which leads to excessive load
on the end of the frame. This can cause damage to the frame.
• The frame is not suitable for the xture of any children's seats or
carriers.
• If you are transporting the bike in a box, make sure that the bike is
kept safe, for instance by using a soft foam cover. Make sure that
there are no foreign items or that excessive pressure or force from
these items cannot damage the frame. Please keep in mind that the warranty does not apply to damage
caused during transit.
• Neither the frame nor the carbon components can ever come in contact with high temperatures such as those
used in the case of powder spraying or cauterizing varnish. Such temperatures can damage the frame and
components. Also avoid leaving the bike in a car in case of strong solar radiation. Similarly, do not keep your
bike in the vicinity of sources of high temperatures.

a negative impact on the handling of the bike and
may lead to a fall. Do not grind off, drill or le any
parts, do not remove backup safety elements, do
