Carbon components must not be exposed to excessive
heat. Therefore, never have a carbon component enam-
eled or powder-coated. The temperatures required for
enameling or powder-coating could destroy the com-
ponent. Do not leave carbon fiber components near a
source of heat or in your car during hot or sunny weather.
Carbon components have, like all lightweight bike com-
ponents, 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 experi-
enced any undue stress, such as an accident.
When you intend to transport your MERIDA bike in the
boot of your car, 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. Do not place any bags on your MERIDA
bike lying in your car.
Always park your MERIDA 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.

If carbon components on your MERIDA bike
produce any creaking or cracking noises or
show any external sign of damage, such as
gouges, cracks, dents, discolorations etc., do not use
the MERIDA bike any longer. Contact your MERIDA
dealer immediately; he will check the component thor-
oughly.
G
Do not combine carbon handlebars with bar
ends, unless they are specifically approved.
Do not shorten carbon handlebars or clamp
the brake levers and shifters more in the middle than
indicated or needed. Risk of breakage!
G
Make sure all carbon clamping areas are ab-
solutely free of grease and other lubricants!
Grease will penetrate the surface of the car-
bon material, thereby reducing the coefficient of fric-
tion. This will no longer provide reliable clamping with-
in the prescribed torque values. Once greased, carbon
components may never again ensure reliable clamping!
Use a special carbon assembly paste
(a)
instead as of-
fered by various manufacturers.
A
Most clamps of bike carrier systems are po-
tential sources of damage to large-diame-
ter frame tubes! As a result thereof carbon
frames can fail during use without previous warning.
However, there are special-purpose models which are
suitable, available in the car accessory trade. Inform
yourself there or ask your MERIDA dealer for advice.
A
Do not clamp a carbon frame or seat post in
the holding jaws of a workstand! The compo-
nents may sustain damage. Mount a sturdy
(aluminum) seat post
(b)
instead and use it to clamp
the frame, or chose a work stand that holds the frame at
three points inside the frame triangle or that clamps the
fork and bottom bracket shell.
