Appendix B

The lifespan of your bike and its components

1. Nothing Lasts Forever, Including Your Bike.

When the useful life of your bike or its components is over, continued use

is hazardous.

Every bicycle and its component parts have a nite, limited useful

life. The length of that life will vary with the construction and materials

used in the frame and components; the maintenance and care the

frame and components receive over their life; and the type and amount

of use to which the frame and components are subjected. Use in

competitive events, trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding,

riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy

loads, commercial activities and other types of non-standard use can

dramatically shorten the life of the frame and components. Any one or a

combination of these conditions may result in an unpredictable failure.

All aspects of use being identical, lightweight bicycles and their

components will usually have a shorter life than heavier bicycles and their

components. In selecting a lightweight bicycle or components you are

making a tradeoff, favoring the higher performance that comes with lighter

weight over longevity. So, If you choose lightweight, high performance

equipment, be sure to have it inspected frequently.

You should have your bicycle and its components checked periodically

by your dealer for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including

cracks, deformation, corrosion, paint peeling, dents, and any other

indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use or abuse. These are

important safety checks and very important to help prevent accidents,

bodily injury to the rider and shortened product life.

2. Perspective

Today’s high-performance bicycles require frequent and careful inspection

and service. In this Appendix we try to explain some underlying material

science basics and how they relate to your bicycle. We discuss some of the

trade-offs made in designing your bicycle and what you can expect from your

bicycle; and we provide important, basic guidelines on how to maintain and

inspect it. We cannot teach you everything you need to know to properly

inspect and service your bicycle; and that is why we repeatedly urge you to

take your bicycle to your dealer for professional care and attention.

WARNING: Frequent inspection of your bike is important to your

safety. Follow the Mechanical Safety Check in Section 1.C of this

Manual before every ride.

Periodic, more detailed inspection of your bicycle is important.

How often this more detailed inspection is needed depends

upon you.

You, the rider/owner, have control and knowledge of how often

you use your bike, how hard you use it and where you

use it. Because your dealer cannot track your use, you must

take responsibility for periodically bringing your bike to your

dealer for inspection and service. Your dealer will help you

decide what frequency of inspection and service is appropriate

for how and where you use your bike.

For your safety, understanding and communication with your

dealer, we urge you to read this Appendix in its entirety. The

materials used to make your bike determine how and how

frequently to inspect.

Ignoring this WARNING can lead to frame, fork or other

component failure, which can result in serious injury or death.
