AFTER A CRASH OR AN IMPACT

Falling off your bike is part of cycling. If you have an acci-
dent 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 conti-
nuing to ride.
INSPECT THE FRAME AND THE BICYCLE COMPO-
NENTS 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 im-
mediately. 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.

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 da-
mage to your bicycle and its components,
causing them to malfunction or wear out
prematurely. Malfunctions can occur sud-
denly and without notice, causing you to lose
control of your bicycle and suffer serious in-
juries, or even death.
