INDICATIONS ON PERIODIC CHECKS

After the components' first fitting and break-in (generally after the first 100-
250 km), use a torque wrench to check the correct tightening of all the bolts. If
needed, loose the bolts and re-tighten to the correct torque.
WARNING: Bolts that are too tight or too loose can cause serious accidents that
can lead to serious injuries or death.
WARNING: Deda Elementi stems are designed to operate properly within a
tightening range of 4 to 5 Nm! If you must exceed these values in order to avoid
relative rotation of fork steerer, stem and handlebar, please contact your DEDA
ELEMENTI dealer or contact us at info@dedaelementi.com
Please repeat this check at least every 1500 km.
All bicycle components are subjected to wear, properties and performance
deterioration, based on your bicycle care and maintenance and on the
environmental conditions to which the bike is exposed, e.g. rain, mud, dust
and sand, saline environments, etc. Metal parts are particularly sensitive to
atmospheric corrosion combined with the effect of athlete's sweating.
WARNING: Accidents, bumps or falls can produce micro cracks in metal
components that are not apparently visible and give rise to sudden failures
and breakages over time. These can cause serious accidents that can lead to
serious injuries or death. Deda Elementi stems and faceplates are made of hard
aluminium alloy. If are damaged as a result of impact or bicycle fall, they cannot
be repaired. They MUST be replaced.
Every two years, or every year in the case of intensive use, please have a qualified
Deda Elementi mechanic inspect the stem for integrity.
