CRASHES
Crashes do happen and sometimes things break and become damaged as a result.
If you’ve had a crash, please make sure to thoroughly check your bike for any signs of
damage before you continue on your ride - do not continue on your ride if you see any
signs of damage! If you are unsure that your bike is safe to use, we strongly recommend
that it is taken to a reputable local bike shop and have them inspect it for any damage.
Due to the nature of carbon ber, crashes can cause damage without showing any
visible signs. If you are unsure, seek professional advice and where possible, replace
the component in question. Forbidden has a crash replacement program that will help
get you and your bike on the trails.
TAKING CARE OF CARBON
Never clamp your carbon frame directly in a bike stand as it can
severely damage your frame and instead, clamp it to the seat post
Be careful with bike racks and transporting in cars. Do not overload the frame
with bike rack clamps and be careful not to overload the frame when
transporting inside cars
Never tighten your rear axle without the wheel installed in the frame as the
lateral forces can damage the stays
Never tighten your seat clamp without a seat post installed as it can
damage your frame
Do not leave aluminum components in direct contact with carbon without
rst applying a lm of high-quality grease or carbon paste - components can
corrode and bind to your frame over time
Never tighten ttings over the specied torque values, ever
Clean with warm water and where possible, proper bicycle detergent and avoid
all solvent based cleaners
Cover high wear areas with protective adhesive lms (eg: areas exposed to rub
from cables, heels, knees, etc.). We recommend Ride Wrap and Invisiframe
frame protection for our bikes.
Any damage that results from incorrect handling of your carbon frame will
not be covered under warranty.
