Replacement Parts; After A Crash Or An Impact - Orbea GAIN CARBON 2021 Manual Tecnico

10 | OR BEA
DRIVETRAIN:
· Inspection of its operation before each ride.
· Regular inspection of chain wear every 500 km. A chain
that is worn beyond the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions must be replaced to prevent damage to the rest
of the drivetrain components. The failure to observe the
manufacturer's recommendations in terms of wear could
necessitate the replacement of the rest of the parts of
the drivetrain.
WHEELS:
· Inspection of its operation before each ride.
· Disassembly and manual inspection of the bearings and
all components once every 6 months.
SHOCKS AND SUSPENSION FORKS:
· Inspection of its operation before each ride.
· Inspection and full maintenance every 125 hours or once
a year (whichever occurs first) by the manufacturer's
authorized dealer.
TELESCOPIC SEAT POSTS:
· Inspection of its operation before each ride.
· Inspection and full maintenance every 125 hours or once
a year (whichever occurs first) by the manufacturer's
authorized dealer.
PIVOT POINTS ON FULL SUSPENSION FRAMES:
· Inspection of its operation before each ride.
· Disassembly of the frame and the manual inspection of
all the bearings every 125 hours of use or once a year
(whichever occurs first). These times may be shorter de-
pending on the conditions in which the bicycle is ridden.
More demanding use of the bicycle or use in adverse
weather conditions or in mud requires the disassembly
and inspection of the frame once every 75 hours of use
or once every 6 months (whichever comes first). If a bear-
ing does not turn smoothly or has excessive play, it must
be replaced immediately.
GEAR CABLES AND HOUSING:
· Inspection of its operation before each ride.
· Replacement of gear cables every 6 months to 1 year
depending on the conditions in which the bicycle is used.
TECHN ICA L MAN UAL
BRAKES:
· Inspection of the operation and wear of the brake pads or
shoes before each ride.
· Check the wear on disc brakes and the cables or
hydraulic lines every 6 months to 1 year depending on
the conditions in which the bicycle is used. Flush the
hydraulic lines once a year.
PEDELEC SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
· Regularly check the connections and cables of the ebike
system components. The connections must be clean and
free of debris and foreign objects. The cables must be in
good condition and free of cuts or kinks and bends that
may cause short circuits and lack of electric assistance.
· The exterior of the controllers and batteries should not
show signs of damage that may allow water and other
elements to ingress within.
· If you notice any damage to the components, contact
your Orbea dealer for a professional diagnosis and/or
replacement.
· Read the X35 System Use Warnings section of this
manual to know about the correct care and maintenance
procedures of the pedelec system components.
ELECTRIC SYSTEM ERRORS:
· Read the Ebikemotion User App section of this manual
to know how to identify errors in the system. When fac-
ing a system error that cannot be corrected by following
the trouble-shooting procedures shown in this section,
contact your Orbea dealer for a complete diagnosis of
the X35 system.
SYSTEM UPDATES:
· The ebike systems manufacturers may develop improve-
ments and updates of their pedelec systems overtime that
improve the system or fix existing problems. Remember
to contact Orbea or your authorized dealer to find out if
there is any available update for the system on your bike.
· On the MAHLE Ebikemotion X35 system, the updates are
performed through the CAN BUS protocol and can only
be carried out by an authorized dealer using a specific
MAHLE update tool.

Some of these checks and maintenance
needs go beyond the mechanical knowledge
of most bicycle users. If you are not quali-
fied to perform the necessary maintenance,
always visit an Orbea dealer for maintenance
on your bicycle and its components. The
failure to perform proper maintenance can
result in malfunctions and accidents with
serious consequences.
Maintenance performed incorrectly can dam-
age the components, which are not covered
by the warranty conditions.
REPLACEMEN T PA RTS
Always use original Orbea or MAHLE original replace-
ment parts or those from the component manufacturer
in question.
The use of non-original replacement parts may
cause damage that results in malfunctions
and accidents with serious consequences.
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 these
replacement parts, always visit an Orbea
dealer for maintenance on your bicycle and
its components. The failure to properly install
replacement parts can result in malfunctions,
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
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
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.
