•CARBON – A PARTICULAR MATERIAL

Special characteristics of components made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics,

also referred to as carbon or CRP, need to be taken into account. Carbon (b) is an

extremely strong material which combines high resistance with low weight.

After overstress, however, carbon components, unlike metal parts, do not neces-

sarily show durable or visible deformation even though some of the fibres may be

damaged. It is very dangerous to continue using the carbon component after an

impact or undue stress, as it may fail without previous warning thereby causing an

accident with unforeseeable consequences. For this reason we recommend that

you have the component, or to be certain, the entire SCOTT bike checked by your

SCOTT dealer after every incident, such as e.g. a crash.

Replace a damaged component (c) at once! Prevent further use by taking appro-

priate measures, i.e. saw the component into pieces. Damaged carbon frames can

possibly be repaired. Contact your SCOTT dealer.

Carbon components must not be exposed to excessive heat. Therefore, never have

a carbon component enamelled or powder-coated. The temperatures required for

enamelling or powder-coating could destroy the component. Do not leave carbon

fibre components near a source of heat or in your car during hot or sunny weather.

In addition, carbon is sensitive to pressure. Therefore, do not mount your SCOTT

frame on a mounting carrier with inappropriate clamps (d).

Carbon components have, like all lightweight bike components, a limited service

life. For this reason, have the stem and the handlebars checked at regular intervals

(e.g. every three years), even if they have not experienced any undue stress, such

as an accident.

When you intend to transport your SCOTT bike in the boot of your car (e), be sure

to protect the bike or the carbon frame and components. Blankets, foam tubes or

the like are a suitable padding to protect the sensitive material from damage (f).

Do not place any bags on your SCOTT bike lying in your car.

Always park your SCOTT bike carefully and make sure it does not topple over. Car-

bon frames and components may already sustain damage by simply toppling over

and thereby hitting e.g. a sharp edge.

•WARNING: Ride back very carefully, even if your SCOTT bike went through

this check without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not

ride your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt about the performance of

your SCOTT bike, have yourself picked up by car, instead of taking any risk.

•WARNING: Back home you need to check your SCOTT bike thoroughly.

Damaged parts must be repaired or replaced. Ask your SCOTT dealer for

advice. For more information on carbon components see the chapter “Carbon

– a particular material” in this SCOTT short manual as well as in your detailed

SCOTT owner’s manual and in the manuals of the component manufacturers on

the enclosed SCOTT info CD.

•WARNING: Deformed components, especially components made of

aluminium, can break without previous warning. They must not be repaired, i.e.

straightened, as this will not reduce the imminent risk of breakage. This applies

in particular to the fork, the handlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and

the pedals. When in doubt, it is for your safety always the better choice to have

these parts replaced. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice.

•WARNING: If your SCOTT bike is assembled with carbon components

(a), it is imperative that you have it checked by your SCOTT dealer after an

accident or similar incident. Carbon is extremely strong and durable with very

low weight, making it perfect for the production of high-performance parts.

However, one of the inherent properties of carbon is that possible overstress

may compromise the inner carbon-fibre structure without showing any visible

deformation, as is the case with steel or aluminium. A damaged component can

fail without previous warning. Risk of falling!

•CAUTION: Make it a rule to check the functioning and in particular the limit

stop of the rear derailleur after a fall or if your SCOTT bike has toppled over.
