or deform; a damaged part may
appear to be normal to a cursory
glance. If you have any doubts
about the integrity of a part, do
not ride the bicycle.
Be very careful when handling
carbon fiber parts that are
suspected of damage. When a
composite part is damaged, there
is a possibility that individual
fibers may be exposed. Carbon
fibers are thinner than a human
hair, but quite stiff. If the point
of one of these fibers is pressed
against your skin, it could pierce
your skin like a needle.

Use the following procedures to
inspect carbon composite parts:
Check for scratches, gouges, or
other surface problems.
Check the part for loss of
rigidity.
Check the part for delamina-
tion.
Listen for unusual creaking or
clicking noises.
These tests may not be conclusive.
The tests are difficult to
describe, so we provide a movie
of inspecting a composite part on
the owner's manual CD and on the
owner's manual web site.

1. Clean the part thoroughly with
a damp cloth.
2. Look closely for problems:
scratches
gouges
cracks
loose fibers (which will appear
like thin hairs)
other surface flaws

Use the part in a normal manner
(without actually riding) while
someone watches carefully for
unexpected movement.
As an example, if you suspect
a composite seatpost has been
damaged, sit gently on the saddle
while someone watches to see if
the seatpost flexes.

1. Clean the part thoroughly with
a damp cloth.
2. With a coin, tap the part near
any possible damage and places
where the part is known to
be in good condition (or use a
similar part).
3. Listen carefully for variations
in sound, especially a hollow
sound, "dead" tone, or any
sound indicating that the part
is not solid.
