It is unsafe to use a bicycle or part in a condition higher than the condition for which it is intended, as listed below: Use Condition Bontrager part For riding on pavement only Riding on a paved surface where the tires do not lose ground contact All Bontrager aerobars For more information about Use Conditions, visit our web site at In this manual, the Safety Alert Symbol is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death. Safe use The following information is very important for your safety. WARNING! Failure to follow the safety information in this manual may result in failure of the aerobar resulting in serious personal injury or death. Inspect the aerobar before every ride Before every ride, complete the following check list to inspect the aerobar and its connected parts: the handlebar, stem, and fork. If any part of the bicycle fails the inspection, repair the bicycle by following the information provided in this manual or take the bicycle to your dealer for service. Never ride a bicycle with a damaged part; replace the part. Check the handlebar and stem Make sure the stem is aligned with the front wheel. Test the stem connection to the fork by attempting to turn the handlebar from side to side with the front wheel locked between your knees (Figure 1). Test the security of the handlebar by attempting to rotate it in the stem. It should not move or be loose. Make sure that no Figure 1- Function testing the handlebar and stem cables are stretched or pinched by rotating the handlebar. Check that the aerobar cannot rotate around the handlebar. Check that the handlebar plugs are properly inserted into both ends of the aerobar. If your bicycle fails a test, see the Maintenance section or take the bicycle to your dealer for service. Check the aerobar for fatigue or impact damage Before and after each ride, carefully inspect your aerobar for signs of impact or fatigue stress: • Dents • Cracks • Scratches • Deformation • Discoloration • Noise Even if you perform regular inspections, if you exceed the limit of strength of a given part, it may fail if overloaded. After any high force load, thoroughly inspect all the parts of your bicycle. High WARNING A damaged carbon fiber part can fail suddenly. Inspect your carbon fiber bicycle or parts for damage frequently. If you have crashed or impacted your bicycle, or suspect a carbon part is damaged, IMMEDIATELY STOP RIDING YOUR BICYCLE. Take it to your dealer for inspection, service, and evaluation under the crash replacement policy. force loads include crashes, but you don't have to crash to put a high force load on your bicycle. For example, hitting a large hole in the road or a sharp bump such as a railroad track can put large forces on your bicycle. The manner in which you ride will determine whether your bicycle and its parts will last. If you ride hard or aggressively, you should replace the bicycle and/or its parts more often than riders who ride smoothly or cautiously. When evaluating your use of the bike or part, there are many variables: weight, speed, technique, terrain, maintenance, riding environment (humidity, salinity, temperature, etc.), and the frame or part itself—so it is impossible to give a precise timetable for replacement. But as a rule, it is better to err on the safe side and replace the bicycle or parts more frequently. If you aren't sure, ask your dealer.
