S PAR E PARTS
Always use original spare parts by Orbea, Shimano or the
manufacturer of the component in question.
The use of non-original spare parts can cause
damage resulting in breakdowns and acci-
dents with severe consequences.
The installation of several of the parts shown
in this technical manual is beyond the me-
chanical knowledge of most bicycle users. If
ways go to an Orbea dealer for your bicycle's
maintenance. Failure to install spare parts
properly can result in breakdowns, accidents
and serious injuries.
The installation of non-original spare parts
may cause damage to your bicycle that is not
covered by the warranty.

AFTER AN IMPACT OR A CRASH

Falling off the bicycle is inherent to cycling. If you have an
accident on your Orbea bicycle, make sure you are okay
and seek medical attention if necessary. If you have not
suffered any injuries, you should check the condition of
your bicycle before continuing.
INSPECT THE FRAME AND THE BICYCLE
COMPONENTS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE BEEN
DAMAGED AT ALL
If you detect any problem, do not continue to ride the bicycle.
POINTS TO CHECK
Inspect the frame and the fork to identify whether either of
these components have been broken or bent.
If you detect any damage or cracks, you must immediately
stop using the bicycle. On carbon frames, look for cracks
or soft spots in the carbon. If you detect any of these
symptoms, you must immediately stop using the bicycle.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
The materials used on carbon frames and
forks are rigid and strong, but if overload-
strong impact on this material could result
glance, could lead to material failure in the
future. If you have any doubts about the con-
sequences of a fall or accident, contact your
Orbea dealer for a correct diagnosis of the
materials.
- Check the drivetrain and the wheels to make sure that the
components operate correctly. If you discover any damage
to the components, stop using the bicycle immediately.
Even if you do not notice any damage, pay close atten-
tion to the sound of your bicycle when you ride it again.
If you notice any unusual noise, stop using your bicycle
immediately and contact your Orbea dealer for a correct
diagnosis of the problem.
TAKE YOUR ORBEA BICYCLE TO AN AUTHORISED
DEALER FOR A PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION
Some of the consequences of a fall or accident can only be
detected by completely disassembling the bicycle to check
for cracks or other signs of deterioration.
A crash or impact can cause serious dam-
age to your bicycle and its components,
causing them to fail or wear out premature-
ly. Failures can occur suddenly and without
warning, causing loss of control of the bicy-
cle, serious injury or even death.

USE OF RISE CARBON
M AXIM UM TY RE WIDTH
guidelines when installing tyres on your bicycle. Howev-
er, the real measurements of the tyre circumference and
width may change from one manufacturer to another.
When installing a tyre other than that originally mounted
on your Orbea bicycle, check that there is at least 6 mm
between the top and the sides of the tyre and any part of
the frame or fork.
Also check the maximum and minimum tyre width that
width. See the compatibility information on the rim or
wheel manufacturer's documentation.
Damage to the frame or components due to
the use of a tyre that does not comply with
these measurements is not covered by the
warranty.
MINIMUM SEATPOST INSERTION
L EN GTH
Always follow the minimum insertion given
for the seatpost to be used or the frame.
Failure to comply with these values can
stress the materials beyond the range for
which they were designed and cause break-
ages not covered by the warranty, as well
as accidents that can cause serious injuries.
M AXIM UM FORK L ENGTH
( AXL E-TO-C ROW N)
Always follow the maximum fork length listed in the tech-
fork length refers to the distance between the fork axle
and the bottom part of the head tube (axle to crown).
ORBEA | 15
Failure to follow this requirement and in-
stalling forks with a length greater than the
yond its design characteristics, possibly re-
sulting in malfunctions of the material that
could cause accidents and serious injuries.
L
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF HEADSET
SPACERS
Never use more headset spacers below the
number of headset spacers that are accept-
able for use on an Orbea frame. Installing
more spacers than allowed can stress the
materials beyond the range for which they
were designed, which can cause accidents
and serious injuries.
Also see the maximum number of headset
spacers allowed under the stem in the spec-
