FRAME
CARE
INTENSE employs advanced composite techniques
and material in our frames which do require a
certain level of care and maintenance to ensure a
safe experience at the high level of performance
each frame is designed around. Not following these
guidelines will decrease the level of performance and
possibly cause injury or death.
• Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water to clean
the aluminium surfaces. Do not use high pressure
washers, abrasive cloths or cleaner.
• Be sure all frame surfaces in contact with cables
are protected. Cable housing rubbing on carbon
can wear over time.
• Be sure brake levers, handlebar ends and the fork
crown do not contact the frame at full rotation.
• Never clamp any part of the frame in a bike
stand or car rack.
• Always inspect your frame if you experience any
chain suck.
• Always inspect your frame in full after a crash to
be sure there is no damage. Look for cracks,
dents or breaks . If you discover damage
in any degree it's best to have your frame
inspected by a qualified INTENSE, LLC
dealer. Any direct impact to the frame can
cause serious structural damage.
• Use high-grade waterproof grease on seatpost,
BB and headset bearing contact areas with the
aluminium.
• Never ream or face the frame.
• Be sure to follow all recommended torque settings.
• Use only genuine replacement parts for safety-
critical components.
