Orbea products are carefully designed to be long-lasting,
frames and forks are extremely corrosion-resistant.
However, your bicycle components need regular mainte-
nance in order to ensure that it works properly and safely,
and to ensure its longevity.
KEEP YOUR BICYCLE CLEAN
Clean your bicycle with mild soap and water on a regular
basis to keep it working as new, and check the condition of
the frame and its components. Do not use high pressure
water, as it could damage components like bearings or the
tubes of the frame.
Citrus-based degreasers are biodegradable and very effec-
tive in removing grease from the drivetrain components
and the chain.
Built-up dirt can complicate the visual in-
spection of the components and hide dam-
age that could potentially cause malfunctions
or accidents.
Built-up dirt causes the premature wear of
components and can even damage some
parts of the bicycle frame such as the bear-
ing housings and moving parts. Damage due
to lack of cleaning and maintenance is not
covered by the guarantee.
KEEP YOUR DRIVETRAIN LUBRICATED
Once you have cleaned your bicycle, lubricate the driv-
necessary to lubricate the links, removing any excess to
prevent it from attracting dirt, causing the drivetrain to not
work properly and the premature wear of the components.
Do not use aerosol lubricants to prevent
them from sticking to the brake surfaces.
Always check the brakes after lubricating
the drivetrain.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
I NS PECT YOU R BICYCLE BEFO RE
EACH RIDE
Perform a quick inspection before each ride to verify that
your bike is in optimal working order. You may encounter
small problems that can turn into major incidents during
the ride.
FRAME: Inspect the frame and the fork, looking for cracks
or other damage. You should not hear any strange noises.
If there is any damage to the frame, do not use the bicycle
and contact your authorised dealer for inspection.
CHAIN: Ensure it's clean and lubricated. The drivetrain
should not make any abnormal noises.
BRAKES: Check that the brakes operate properly and safe-
ly. Check the tightening torques of the components.
TYRES: Check for worn tires and look for cuts on the tread
or on the sides. If you spot any damage, replace the tyre.
Make sure that the tyre pressure is adequate.
WHEELS: Make sure that the wheels turn smoothly and
that there are no sideways movements. Pull the wheel
slightly sideways to check that there is no lateral play in
the bearings. Check for broken or loose spokes. Make sure
that the axles and quick-release skewers are tightened se-
curely and to the correct torque.
HEADSET: Activate the front brake and move the front part
of the bicycle back and forth, applying pressure on the
handlebars with the front wheel on the ground. Check for
strange noises or movement of the headset, which could
indicate that the bearings are worn or the headset has not
been correctly tightened. Once the headset is correctly
adjusted, check that it turns smoothly.
SWINGARM PIVOT POINTS: On full suspension bicycles,
check that all the swingarm pivot points rotate smoothly
and show no signs of play in the bearings. Pull the swin-
garm from side to side on the bicycle and pay attention to
any noise or play at the pivot points. If the swingarm does
not operate smoothly or they show signs of play, this could
be a sign that the tightening torques are incorrect or that
the bearings are worn or damaged.

BEARINGS: The bearings (bottom bracket, swingarm piv-
ot points, headset, wheels, etc.) are elements subject to
wear that must be regularly inspected to ensure that they
operate correctly. Bearings in poor condition can damage
the components in which they are installed. Bad weather
speeds up bearing wear. Bearings that have excessive play
or that do not turn smoothly must be replaced immediate-
ly. If you are in any doubt, consult your authorised dealer.
Damage to components like the frame, bi-
cycle wheels, etc. associated with a lack of
maintenance and the replacement of the
bearings are not covered by the guarantee.
Failure to follow the recommendations out-
lined in this manual and riding a bicycle that
shows any of the symptoms described above
may cause accidents and serious injuries.
TIGHTENING TORQUES. Always check the
tightening torques and install the compo-
nents described in this manual according to
ponents from other manufacturers installed
on your Orbea bicycle. Failure to follow these
the components, accidents and even death.
M AINTE NA NCE PE RIODS
The component maintenance periods indi-
cated below are for reference, and depend
largely on factors such as the weather con-
ditions (adverse conditions considerably re-
duce the life of the components and main-
tenance times), cleanliness of the bicycle
and its components (components with ac-
cumulated dirt wear out more quickly) and
use (more demanding use of the bicycle will
require shorter maintenance periods).
For components from other brands mounted
on Orbea bicycles, you can check the recom-
mended or mandatory maintenance periods on
the manufacturer's website or by contacting
the distributor of that brand in your country.
Damage to components as a result of failing
to follow the recommended maintenance peri-
ods could result in damage that is not covered
by Orbea's or the manufacturer's guarantee.
Failure to comply with maintenance periods
could result in damage to the components and
lead to malfunctions and accidents.
HEADSET:
· Inspection of its operation before every ride.
· Disassembly and inspection of the bearings after every
6 months of use.
BOTTOM BRACKET:
· Inspection of its operation before every ride.
· Disassembly and inspection of the bearings after every
6 months of use.
DRIVETRAIN:
· Inspection of its operation before every ride.
· Regular inspection of the chain wear every 500 km.
A chain that is worn beyond the manufacturer's rec-
-
ommendations must be replaced to prevent damage
to the rest of the drivetrain components. Failure to
follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wear
could necessitate the replacement of the rest of the
parts of the drivetrain.
WHEELS:
· Inspection of its operation before every ride.
· Disassembly and inspection of the bearings and all
components every 4-6 months.
SHOCKS AND SUSPENSION FORKS:
· Inspection of its operation before every ride.
· Inspection and full maintenance every 125 hours or
er's authorised dealer.
DROPPER SEATPOSTS:
· Inspection of its operation before every ride.
· Inspection and full maintenance every 125 hours or
er's authorised dealer.
· See the OC2 dropper seatpòst user manual for more
details on its maintenance.
