For this reason we recommend that you have the component, or to be certain,
the entire SCOTT bike (c) checked by your SCOTT dealer after every incident,
such as e.g. a fall.
Damaged components must be replaced 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 SCOTT dealer.
Carbon components must not be exposed to excessive heat. Therefore, never
have a carbon component enamelled or powder-coated. The temperatures re-
quired 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 inter-
vals (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, be sure
to protect the bike or the carbon frame and components. Blankets (e), foam
tubes or the like are a suitable padding to protect the sensitive material from
damage. Do not place any bags on your SCOTT bike lying in your car.
Always park your SCOTT bike carefully (f) 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.
DANGER!
G
If carbon components on your SCOTT bike produce any creaking or crack-
ing noises or show any external sign of damage, such as gouges, cracks,
dents, discolorations etc., do not use the SCOTT bike any longer. Contact your
SCOTT dealer immediately; he will check the component thoroughly.
DANGER!
G
Deformed components, especially components made of aluminium, can
break without previous warning. They must not be repaired, i.e. straight-
ened, as this will not reduce the imminent risk of breakage. This applies in
particular to the fork, the handlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and
the pedals. When in doubt, it is always the better choice for your safety to have
these parts replaced. Ask your SCOTT dealer for advice.
DANGER!
G
If your SCOTT bike is assembled with carbon components, it is imperative
that you have it checked by your SCOTT dealer after an accident or similar
incident. Carbon is extremely strong and durable with very low weight, making
it perfect for the production of high-performance parts. However, one of the
inherent properties of carbon is that possible overstress may compromise the
inner carbon fibre structure without showing any visible deformation, as is the
case with steel or aluminium. A damaged component can fail without previous
warning. Risk of falling!
CAUTION!
A
Make it a rule to check the functioning and in particular the limit stop of the
rear derailleur after a fall or if your SCOTT bike has toppled over.
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 (a) is
an extremely strong material which combines high resistance with low weight.
After overstress, however, carbon components (b), 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.
