9. Special Characteristics of Carbon and

Framesets

As is the case with all lightweight products and in particular with prod-

ucts made of carbon (carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics), also referred to

as CRP, some characteristics have to be kept in mind with the STEVENS

carbon components.

Carbon is an extremely strong material which combines high resistance

with low weight. However, carbon is brittle and when subject to an over-

load it does not show any deformation, even though its inner structure

may be damaged already. In contrast to steel or aluminium, carbon com-

ponents that have sustained damage to their inner fibres as a result of

excessive stress will show no outwardly visible deformation.

Carbon components that have been subjected to overstress are liable to

fail during use, possibly causing an accident with unforeseeable conse-

quences. If you have had a critical incident with your bicycle, we advise

you to have the relevant component inspected or the whole bicycle by

your STEVENS dealer. If necessary, they can contact our after-sales de-

partment for any inquiries.

For safety reasons components made of carbon must not be repaired. Re-

place a damaged component immediately! Prevent further use by third

parties.

Components made of carbon should under no circumstances be exposed

to excessive heat. Therefore, never have a carbon component enamelled

or powder-coated. The temperatures required for doing so could destroy

it. Do not leave carbon items in a car in direct sunlight for prolonged pe-

riods or near sources of heat.

Like all extremely lightweight components, carbon components have a

limited service life. The handlebars and stem should therefore be replaced

at regular intervals, e.g. every 3 years, depending on frequency and in-

tensity of use, even if they have not been involved in accidents or similar

incidents.

9.1. Care Instructions

Components made of carbon reinforced fibre should be cleaned with a soft

rag and clear water. Add, if necessary, a little washing up liquid. Remove

tough stains of oil or grease with a petroleum-based cleaning agent. Nev-

er use degreasing agents containing acetone, trichloroethylene, methyl

chloride etc., solvents or non-neutral, chemical or solvent-containing

cleaning agents that could attack the surface!

You can use car wax to protect the surface and make it shine. Polishing

agents contain solid constituents that might attack the surface.

Danger:

If your STEVENS component

produces any creaking or

cracking noises or show any

external sign of damage,

such as gouges, cracks, dents,

discolourations etc., do not

use the bicycle any longer.

Contact your STEVENS dealer

immediately; they will check

the component thoroughly!
