Cervélo Owner’s Manual
WARNING: Failure to select and properly install suitable,
genuine replacement parts may lead to unforeseen changes
in the safety and performance characteristics of your bicycle.
It is recommended that you use dealer-recommended OEM replacement
parts for any components of your bicycle that require replacement.
Your Cervélo was carefully designed and tested with the components
provided, and changes to these parts can result in different
performance characteristics.
APPENDIX A: 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 finite, 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, com-
mercial 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.
WARNING: As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is
subject to wear and high stresses. Different materials and
components may react to wear and stress fatigue in different
ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it
may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any
form of crack, scratches or change of colouring in highly stressed
areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached
and it should be replaced.
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.
