What do I need to know regarding carbon care instructions?

Bicycle frames made out of carbon fibres are high performance frames. The tube dimensions, wall thickness and orientation of the fibres are specially designed to withstand the stresses that can occur during its intended use and guarantee high comfort and stiffness to give you the best ride possible. Whilst SCOR frames are designed to exceed EN safety requirements, the frames are not designed to withstand all foreseen forces. They are not designed to survive all collisions or crashes undamaged and can be delicate for punctual pressures. Please respect the following instructions: Avoid contact with hard, sharp or pointed objects. Don’t lean your bike with the top tube against a pole or corner of a building. When using a work stand, don’t clamp the bike on any frame tube, fix the bike at the seatpost only. While your bike is fixed (by the seatpost) on the work stand, avoid high side loads when replacing the bottom bracket as a lever effect can occur creating damage to the seattube or frame.
