Cervélo Owner’s Manual
bicycle will be very quiet and free of creaks and squeaks. Investigate and
find the source of any noise. It may not be a crack or delamination, but
whatever is causing the noise must be fixed before riding.
WARNING: Do not ride a bicycle or component with any
delamination or crack. Riding a delaminated or cracked
frame, fork or other component could lead to complete
failure, with risk of serious injury or death.
C. Understanding Components
It is often necessary to remove and disassemble components in order to
properly and carefully inspect them. This is a job for a professional bicycle
mechanic with the special tools, skills and experience to inspect and
service today’s high-tech high-performance bicycles and their components.
Aftermarket “Super Light” components
Think carefully about your rider profile as outlined above. The more you
fit the “shorten product life” profile, the more you must question the use
of super light components. The more you fit the “lengthen product life”
profile, the more likely it is that lighter components may be suitable for
you. Discuss your needs and your profile very honestly with your dealer.
Take these choices seriously and understand that you are responsible
for the changes.
A useful slogan to discuss with your dealer if you contemplate changing
components is “Strong, Light, Cheap –pick two.”
Original Equipment Components
Bicycle and component manufacturers test the fatigue life of the
components that are original equipment on your bike. This means
that they have met test criteria and have reasonable fatigue life. It
does not mean that the original components will last forever. They
won’t. However, if replaced appropriately, and with careful use and
maintenance, your Cervélo bicycle will provide you with many years
of faithful service.
