SET-UP
3.2 - SUSPENSION FORKS
Your suspension fork requires specific, precise maintenance that may vary depending on the fork. It is
imperative that you read the manufacturer's notice that is delivered with your bike. Due to the impact and
the shocks that suspension forks absorb, it is important to clean the stanchions and inspect the joints after
each use. Please refer to the manufacturer's notice for information regarding how often you should change
or add oil. Only a specialist who has the proper tools should perform these operations.
Our carbon frames are the result of long hours of research and development, and owning one requires
certain maintenance procedures that will prolong the life of your bike and assure optimal performance.
• Periodically visit your authorized Lapierre dealer so he can inspect your bike.
• In case of any serious accidents, have your bike examined by an authorized Lapierre dealer before riding it again.
• Avoid using grease on your seat tube as certain ones can be harmful to the resin and deteriorate it.
• During winter rides, it is absolutely necessary to wash your bike after each ride in order to avoid damaging
the frame from the salt.
