Impact:
First, check yourself for injuries, and take care of
them as best you can. Seek medical help if
necessary.
Next, check your bike for damage.
After any crash, take your bike to your dealer for
a thorough check.
Carbon composite components, including fames,
wheels, handlebars, stems, cranksets, brakes,
etc. which have sustained an impact must not be
ridden until they have been disassembled and
thoroughly inspected by a qualified mechanic.

A crash or other impact can put extraordinary
stress on bicycle components, causing them
to fatigue prematurely.
Components suffering from stress fatigue can
fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing
loss of control, serious injury or death.
