MECHANICAL EXPERTISE - The majority of bicycle maintenance and repair procedures require specific skills and experience and the use of appropriate tools.
Basic mechanical skills and aptitude may not be adequate for working correctly on your bicycle. Never overestimate your technical skills. Have assembly and
maintenance work done by a specialised mechanic. This is the only way to guarantee that the work is carried out correctly.
INTENDED USE - This Fulcrum product is designed and manufactured for use only on road racing style bicycles that are ridden only on smooth road or track
surfaces. Any other use of this product, such as off-road or on trails is forbidden.
"AN ACCIDENT" - Please note that throughout this manual, reference is made that "an accident" could occur. Any accident could result in damage to your
bicycle, its components and, more importantly, could cause you or a bystander to sustain severe personal injury or even death.
LIFESPAN - WEAR - INSPECTION REQUIREMENT - The lifespan of Fulcrum components depends on many factors, such as rider size and riding conditions.
Impacts, falls, improper use or harsh use in general may compromise the structural integrity of the components and significantly reduce their lifespan. Some com-
ponents are also subject to wear over time. Please have your bicycle and its components regularly inspected by a qualified mechanic for any cracks, deformation,
signs of fatigue or wear (use of penetrating fluid or other visual enhancers to locate cracks on parts is recommended). Disassembly your bicycle components
and especially the pedals, is required during these inspections. If the inspection reveals any deformation, cracks, impact marks or stress marks, no matter how
slight, immediately replace the component; components that have experienced excessive wear also need immediate replacement. The frequency of inspection
depends on many factors; check with your authorized representative of Fulcrum wheels S.r.l. to select a schedule that is best for you.
