AFTER A CRASH OR AN IMPACT

Falling off your bike is part of cycling. If you have an
accident on your Orbea bicycle, be sure that you're okay
and seek medical care, if necessary. If you are uninjured,
you should check the condition of your bicycle before
continuing to ride.
INSPECT THE FRAME AND THE BICYCLE COMPONENTS
TO SEE IF THEY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY
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 stop using the bicycle
immediately. On carbon frames, look for cracks or soft
spots in the carbon. If you detect any of these symptoms,
you must stop using the bicycle immediately.
The materials used on carbon frames and
forks are rigid and strong, but if overloaded
bend, and they will break. A strong enough
impact to this material could cause damage
cause the materials to fail in the future. In the
case of any doubt about the consequences 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 observe any damage, pay close atten-
tion to the sound of your bicycle when you ride it again.
Damage and other problems can cause unusual noises.
If you notice any unusual noise, stop using your bicycle
immediately and contact your Orbea dealer for a correct
diagnosis of the problem.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
TAKE YOUR ORBEA BICYCLE TO AN AUTHORIZED
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 the presence of damage or other signs of deterioration.
A collision or impact can cause serious
damage to your bicycle and its components,
causing them to malfunction or wear
out prematurely. Malfunctions can occur
suddenly and without notice, causing you to
lose control of your bicycle and suffer serious
injuries, or even death.

MAXIMUM TYRE W IDTH
tyres that can be mounted on the frame. Always follow
these guidelines when installing tyres on your bicycle.
However, the real measurements of the tyre circumfer-
ence 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.
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 conditions.

MINIMUM SEATPOST INSERTION

the minimum insertion depth of the seatpost
or the frame on road bicycles with exclu-
sive Orbea seatposts. The failure to follow
these instructions can cause stresses on the
materials beyond the conditions for which
they were designed and cause damage not
covered by the warranty conditions, as well
as accidents that can result in serious injuries.
MAXIMUM F ORK L ENGTH
(AXLE TO CROW N)
Always abide by the maximum fork length listed in the
imum fork length refers to the distance between the fork
axle and the bottom part of the head tube (axle to crown).
The failure to abide by this measurement
and install forks with a length greater than
frame beyond its design characteristics,
possibly resulting in malfunctions of the
material that could cause accidents and se-
rious injuries.
L
M AXIM UM NUMB ER
OF HEADSET SPACERS
Never use more headset spacers below the
the maximum number of headset spacers
that are acceptable for use on an Orbea
frame. Installing more spacers than those
permitted can stress the materials beyond
-
the use for which they were designed, which
can cause accidents and serious injuries.
