Washing your carbon bike

[smilingcat]

No need to panic. your carbon Roubaix is lot toughter than you might think.

Dent- Carbon frames are tough so if you have to apply a lot of pressure or force to dent, sort of like taking a hammer to it or throwing out the second story window. You really can't dent it. It will crack first but only under extreme condition.

scratch- We used to say that scratching will ruin the frame. But that really isn't the case anymore. Besides, your Roubaix should have a clear coat (a layer of transparent paint) so again not to worry about scratches.

nicks- again really hard to do so not worry about it. and again the frame is protected with the clear coat.

as for washing, don't scrub. If you have caked and dried on mud/dirt, get it wet and hose it off. Avoids scratching the clear coat.

Enjoy your new bike. A really nice bike.
