WARRANTY
PRECONDITION
All components of a bicycle (frame, wheels, cranks, handlebars, chain, tires etc.) have a useful life cycle, which depends on many factors such as: the technology and materials used, the weight and power of the cyclist, care and maintenance, how much, how and where they are used, the use of aggressive cleaners, external factors such as strokes, crushing or falls.
Components are subject to a normal or surface usage, but also a type of usage called fatigue of materials, which consists of a gradual separation of the molecular structure that initially looks like a micro-fracture almost invisible and grows over time up to weaken the component, to the point that it collapses suddenly when the fracture has become big enough. The fatigue initially is barely visible and therefore more insidious; to reduce the risk of suffering an accident, you must monitor the usage and recognize any signs of fatigue before it can cause an instant failure.
Any product that is used or has lost its structural integrity or that shows damage or signs of fatigue, it must be replaced immediately, to reduce the chance of suffering an accident that may cause serious injury.
ASSIGNED USAGE
Our products are designed and intended for use purely citizen with road with smooth surface. The bicycle usage involves risk anyway and factors such as poor maintenance, the omission of frequent inspections, poor visibility, darkness or rain can greatly increase these risks. Proper maintenance, frequent inspection, the use of the headband, high visibility clothing, lights, mirrors, alarm and a cautious driving help to reduce these risks, but did not completely eliminate them.
Our frames are built to withstand continuous stresses of an urban setting, however an improper use of the bike, and a request for greater stress due to continuous hits could lead to a deterioration in the same. We don’t recommend a constant exposure to the elements as this may cause the malfunction or the deterioration of the frame. Periodically check that there are no problems or cracks in the connections.
Our wooden Handlebars are designed and created for a purely urban and not competitive use. Proper maintenance and use of the product will prolong its lifespan. We ensure the proper functioning of our wooden handlebars even when they are in contact with a moderate amount of water but we strongly advise against the continued exposure to the weather. Make sure regularly that the handlebars are fixed by the proper tension to the pipe, ensuring the tightness of screws or fastening of screws. Improper positioning or fixing may cause a detachment of the handlebar from the pipe or a wrong move during the use.
Our Clutch Bags are designed and created for a purely urban usage. Although equipped with waterproof treatments cannot be guaranteed water resistance, and therefore expose them for long periods to the elements. Before the bike use customer have to make sure that the bag lies perfectly on the down tube so that the bottom magnet exerts its force of attraction and to check that the fastening clips are securely tightened. We recommend customer doesn’t charge the Clutch Bag with excessive weight that could affect stability. For maintenance please refer to the instruction manual with which the product is supplied.
