1.2 Target group
This manual is intended for you, the owner of the XLITE frame.
Assembly and maintenance of the frame require basic knowledge in bicycle technology. If in doubt, please consult a
qualified bicycle mechanic. Improper assembly or incorrect maintenance of your bike may result in serious accidents with
fatal consequences!
1.3 Tools
All work on your bicycle requires the use of appropriate tools. Screw connections must be tightened to a defined torque
using an appropriate torque wrench.
A proper installation and removal of components can only be guaranteed when using perfectly functioning and undamaged
tools.
1.4 The special properties of carbon
Carbon frames must not be clamped (e.g. into a workstand) or subjected to pressure in any other way. Always tighten
carbon parts to the prescribed torque.
Damages to carbon components might not show up immediately. If in doubt, please consult a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Carbon parts have a limited lifespan. Carbon components should be replaced regularly (e.g. every three years). We
recommend replacing ROSE frames and forks made from carbon every six years.
Heat permanently damages the carbon structure. Carbon parts must not be stored close to heat sources or in a vehicle in
direct sunlight.
