3.2 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE OF CARBON FIBRE BICYCLES

A carbon fibre frame requires special care due to the nature of its construction.
Never clamp the bicycle using any of the carbon fibre frame tubes. Use the seat post to hold the frame during assembly.
Do not use any solvents on the frame. Clean only with a mild detergent and water.
Do not paint the frame.
Avoid scratches and direct impacts to the frame. If you are involved in a mishap, or your bicycle is scratched during use, immediately see your bicycle
retailer for inspection of the damage.
Use a chain protector to lessen the chance of chipping the carbon fibre tubing.
Use the manufacturer's recommended size seatpost and headset. Do not attempt to alter the original sizes of these parts.
Avoid overtightening of the seatpost.
