Yes. Carbon fiber frames require regular inspection, especially after an impact or crash. Avoid using a high-pressure water gun when cleaning to avoid damaging the surface of the frame.
Carefully inspect the surface of the frame for cracks, scratches or areas of discoloration, especially at seams. If you suspect the frame is damaged, it is recommended to contact a professional technician for ultrasonic or X-ray inspection.
Depends on the extent of damage. Minor scratches and superficial damage can usually be repaired, but if the frame has severe cracks or structural damage, the frame may need to be replaced. It is recommended to contact a professional restoration agency to evaluate the possibility of restoration.
Store away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes, preferably in a dry, ventilated place. Avoid hanging heavy objects or placing other items on the frame.
Yes, but be cautious. Carbon fiber frames have strict torque requirements. Be sure to use a torque wrench when modifying to avoid over-tightening. When replacing parts, make sure the new parts are compatible with the frame and installed by a professional technician.
With normal use and good maintenance, carbon fiber bikes can have a very long life. The key is to avoid impacts and overuse, and conduct regular inspections and maintenance.
If it is within the warranty period, first contact the store or brand’s after-sales service. When you are out of warranty or encounter specific problems, you can contact professional carbon fiber repair services.
