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.

This technical manual specifies the maximum size of the
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 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 3 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.
MI N I M UM S EAT P O ST I N S E RT I ON
Always follow the specifications regarding
the minimum insertion depth of the seatpost
or the frame on road bicycles with exclusive
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.

Never use more headset spacers below the
stem than those specified for the frame.
Consult the specifications tables to find out
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.

Never install headset spacers above the stem.
Placing spacers above the stem, especially on
forks with a carbon steerer tube, can cause
the expander inside the fork tube to be po-
sitioned above the lower limit of the steerer
tube, which can stress the materials beyond
the use for which they were designed, possibly
causing accidents and serious injuries.
The length of the fork steerer tube must
always be appropriate for the position of the
stem in the fork. The stem must always be
installed in the steerer tube of the fork so that
both fastening bolts on the back of the stem
are positioned above the surface of the stee-
rer tube of the fork. Never mount the stem so
that the top fastening bolt of the stem remains
above the top edge of the fork steerer tube.
This will stress the materials beyond the use
for which they were designed, possibly cau-
sing accidents and serious injuries.
INTENDED USE
The intended use of all models is ASTM Condition 2, that
includes Condition 1 as well as unpaved and gravel roads
and trails with moderate grades with drops limited to 15 cm.
For information about all ASTM categories, consult the
General User Manual.
O.K.
For Gain to be used under the conditions observed in the
ASTM Condition 2, make sure to use appropriate all-road
tyres (wide and with generous tread). Assemblies with
road specific tyres should only be used on paved roads
under the conditions described by the ASTM Condition 1.
