GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUAL 2021 45
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 necessarily
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 BERGAMONT bike checked by your BERGAMONT dealer after every
incident, such as e.g. a crash.
Replace a damaged component (c) at once! Prevent further use by taking appropriate
measures, i.e. saw the component into pieces. Damaged carbon frames can possibly be
repaired. Contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
Carbon components must not be exposed to excessive heat. Therefore, never have a car-
bon 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 BERGAMONT
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 BERGAMONT 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 BERGAMONT bike lying in your car.
Always park your BERGAMONT bike carefully and make sure it does not topple over.
Carbon frames and components may already sustain damage by simply toppling over and
thereby hitting e.g. a sharp edge.
