failure to perform proper maintenance can
result in malfunctions and accidents with
serious consequences.

TECHN ICA L MAN UAL
R E P LAC E ME N T PA RTS
Always use original Orbea replacement parts or those
from the component manufacturer in question.
The use of non-original replacement parts
may cause damage that results in malfunc-
tions and accidents with serious consequen-
ces.
The installation of some of the replacement
parts in this technical manual are beyond
the mechanical knowledge of most bicycle
users. If you are not qualified to install the-
se replacement parts, always visit an Orbea
dealer for maintenance on your bicycle and
its components. The failure to properly ins-
tall replacement parts can result in malfunc-
tions, accidents and serious injuries.
The installation of non-original replacement
parts can damage your bicycle and is not
covered by the warranty conditions.

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 bi-
cycle.
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
or if they suffer an impact, the fibers do not
bend, and they will break. A strong enough
impact to this material could cause damage
that, while not visible at first glance, could
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
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 circumfe-
rence 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.
M INIM UM SEATPOST
INSERTIO N
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 ma-
terials beyond the conditions for which they
were designed and cause damage not cove-
red by the warranty conditions, as well as
accidents that can result in serious injuries.
On Junior frames with Digit seatposts, always
use the seatpost hardware provided to stop
the child from removing the seatpost from
the frame and avoid rotation of the seatpost
into the frame.
