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