Looking after etc

[Andy clarke]

I'm sorry if these have been asked before couple of questions
Is there any special requirements for carbon fibre?
Do I need to switch tyres on a road bike for winter? Twin Cree front lights are they good at £12.95 for non recharable with a free l.e.d rear light ?!?

No special requirements what so ever for carbon frames..
No you don't need to change tyres unless you are looking at cycling over ice.

requirements in what sense?

Needs to be kept at room/garage temperature in ambient lighting conditions.

requirements in what sense?

As in for looking after it and keeping it clean one would assume ? Baby wipes are handy to carry around just make sure you check your tyres for debris and pick out the crap they will pick up in this manky weather. Changing a flat in the cold is a bitch

There are some special requirements for carbon fibre frames - even I know some of these, and I only bought my first-ever carbon fibre road bike 1 year ago.

• It's not recommended to clamp them on a car's rear bike carrier;
• Any bolts, clamps, etc. should be tightened only to the recommended torque.

There may be a few more considerations, but as I said I'm no expert here .
