LIFESPAN - WEAR - INSPECTION REQUIREMENT - The lifespan of Fulcrum components depends on many factors, such as rider size and riding conditions. Impacts, falls, improper use or harsh
use in general may compromise the structural integrity of the components and significantly reduce their lifespan. Some components are also subject to wear over time. Please have your bicycle
and its components regularly inspected by a qualified mechanic for any cracks, deformation, signs of fatigue or wear (use of penetrating fluid or other visual enhancers to locate cracks on
parts is recommended). Disassembly your bicycle components and especially the pedals, is required during these inspections. If the inspection reveals any deformation, cracks, impact marks
or stress marks, no matter how slight, immediately replace the component; components that have experienced excessive wear also need immediate replacement. The frequency of inspection
depends on many factors; check with your authorized representative of Fulcrum wheels S.r.l. to select a schedule that is best for you.
