118 WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE

WARRANTY

Your bike was manufactured with care and delivered
to you largely preassembled. We are obliged by law to
guarantee that your bike is free of any defects which
considerably reduce its value or fitness for use or
make it worthless or useless. You have full warranty
rights within the first two years after purchase. We
are your contact in the event of defects and you can
get in touch with us at the stated address.
In order for your claims to be processed smoothly it is
necessary that you present your receipt. Therefore,
please keep your receipt in a safe place.
To ensure a long service life and good durability of
your bike only use it for its intended purpose (see
chapter "Intended use"). Also observe the permissi-
ble load specifications and the instructions on trans-
porting baggage and children (see chapter "Intended
use"). The manufacturers' assembly instructions
(above all the torque settings for bolts) and the pre-
scribed maintenance intervals must be strictly fol-
lowed, as well. Please observe the tests and routines
listed in this manual or in any other manual enclosed
with this delivery (see chapter "Service and mainte-
nance schedule") as well as any instructions as to the
replacement of safety-relevant components, such as
handlebars, brakes etc.
We wish you safe and happy cycling wherever your
bike takes you. If you have any questions, please call
our service hotline at +44 (0) 20 8501 2582.
Always use your bike for its intended use
Enclosed with the delivery you will find the
i
operating instructions of the component
manufacturers. Here you will find all details about
use, maintenance and care. This manual contains
multiple references to these specific and detailed
operating instructions. Please make sure the in-
dividual operating instructions for clipless pedals
and gear and brake components are in your pos-
session and keep them in a safe place together
with this leaflet and the manual.
Carbon is a composite material which is
i
used for weight-optimised designs. Sur-
face irregularities on carbon components (small
boils and pores) are unavoidable for reasons in-
herent in the manufacturing process. This does
not constitute a defect.
A NOTE ON WEAR
Some components of your bike are subject to wear
due to their function. The rate of wear depends on
care and maintenance as well as on the way you use
your bike (kilometres travelled, rides in the rain, dirt,
salt etc.). Bikes that are often left standing in the
open may also be subject to increased wear through
weathering.
These components require regular care and mainte-
nance. Nevertheless, sooner or later they will reach
the end of their service life, depending on conditions
and intensity of use.
Parts that have reached their limit of wear must be
replaced. This applies to the following parts:
chain,
cables,
grip coverings or bar tape,
chainrings,
sprockets,
pulleys,
gears cables,
tyres,
saddle covering (leather) and
brake pads.
The brake pads of rim brakes are subject to wear due
to their function. If you use your bike for compet-
itive cycling or in hilly terrain, they may have to be
replaced quite frequently. Regularly check the condi-
tion of the pads and have them replaced by a dealer.
WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE 119
Brake pads with worn down wear indicators, i.e. grooves, (bottom
brake pad) must be replaced by original spare parts
Have the thickness of your rims checked at the latest when you are
through your second set of brake pads
RIMS WITH RIM BRAKES
Braking causes wear not only to the brake pads but
also to the rims. Therefore, check your rims regular-
ly, e.g. when pumping up the tyres. Rims with wear
indicators have rings or a gap that come into view
when the rim reaches its limit of wear. Take note of
the specifications given on the rim. Ask an expert to
examine the remaining thickness of the rims at the
latest when you are through your second set of brake
pads.
Signs of deformation or fine cracks that appear in the
sides of a rim when you increase the tyre pressure are
an indication that the rim has reached the end of its
service life. In this case the rim must be replaced.
