component manufacturers. If need be, you can use those documents for further information on the respective product, its assembly and setup. The user manuals of some manufacturers might only be

2.6
THE SPECIAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON
Carbon frames must not be clamped (e.g. into a work stand) or subjected to pressure in any other way. Always tighten carbon parts to the prescribed torque. Damage to carbon components is not necessarily
immediately visible. If in doubt, consult a qualified bicycle mechanic. Carbon parts have a limited lifespan. Handlebars, seat posts, stems, cranks and wheels made from carbon should be replaced regularly
(e.g. every three years). Intense heat permanently damages the carbon structure. Carbon parts must not be stored close to heat sources or in a vehicle in direct sunlight.
