Carbon components have a limited service life. Handlebar, seatpost, stem, cranks and carbon wheels should be replaced at regular intervals (e.g. every three years). Intense heat permanently damages the
carbon structure. Carbon components must not be stored near heat sources or in direct sunlight inside a vehicle.
