General care and maintenance (cont.)
Bontrager carbon
fiber or aluminum cranksets, and their aluminum dropouts, are not as
ductile as steel. Never attempt to make adjustments to a part by bend-
ing or twisting it. If the crankset has been damaged, take it to your
Bontrager dealer for inspection.
Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals
on the crankset, as they can damage the finish and also the adhesive
which joins the crankset parts. Excessive heat over 180ºF. (82ºC.) can
also damage the adhesive.
Modifying the crankset in
any way will void the manufacturer's warranty and may be unsafe.
Removing paint from a Bontrager carbon crankset requires special
techniques, so should only be done at the Bontrager factory. See your
Bontrager dealer for more information.
