28. Special characteristics of carbon
28.1.1 General notes on care
Clean the carbon components with water
and a soft cloth. If necessary, also use a mild
soap. Only use petroleum based solvents for
cleaning tough stains of oil or grease. Do
not use degreasing agents containing MEK,
acetone, trichloroethylene, methylene, chlo-
ride, etc., solvents, non-neutral or chemical
detergents or detergents containing solvents,
as they may damage the carbon structure.
To protect and re-polish the surface, use car
wax. Polishing agents contain solid constitu-
ents that might attack the surface.
28.1.2 Protection of the frame finish
Protect the vulnerable areas of your frame;
such as steerer tube or lower side of the down
tube etc., with protective pads against dam-
age caused by rubbing cables or stone chip-
ping. Your MERIDA dealer keeps these pads
for sale. Take particular care to accurately fit
the delivered chain stay protection and the
chain suck protection plate made of stainless
steel (MTB-hardtail only).
Protect the vulnerable areas of your
carbon frame, such as steerer tube
or lower side of the down tube etc., with
protective pads against damage caused
by rubbing cables or stone chipping. Your
MERIDA dealer keeps these pads for sale.
Also keep in mind that carbon is sensitive
to pressure. Do not lean your MERIDA bike
carelessly against a post or such like.
If you intend to equip your carbon frame
with components, such as mudguards, car-
rier, kick-stand and lighting set, you will need
the manufacturer’s approval. In general, only
frames with special threaded eyes can be fit-
ted with additional accessories.
Never mount a carbon frame in the
holding claw of a workstand! It is bet
-
ter to clamp it instead on an aluminium seat
post mounted beforehand.
