Some of these checks and maintenance require-
ments go beyond the mechanical knowledge of most
bicycle users. If you are not qualified to perform the
necessary maintenance, always go to an Orbea dealer
for the maintenance of your bicycle and its compo-
nents. Failure to perform proper maintenance can re-
sult in malfunctions and accidents with serious
consequences.
Incorrectly performed maintenance can damage the
components, which are not covered by the warranty.
SPARE PARTS
Always use original Orbea spare parts or those of the
manufacturer of the component in question.
The use of non-original spare parts can cause dam-
age resulting in breakdowns and accidents with se-
vere consequences.
The installation of several of the parts shown in this
technical manual is beyond the mechanical knowl-
edge of most bicycle users. If you are not qualified to
install these parts, always go to an Orbea dealer for
your bicycle's maintenance. Failure to install spare
parts properly can result in breakdowns, accidents
and serious injuries.
The installation of non-original spare parts may cause
damage to your bicycle that is not covered by the
guarantee.

AFTER AN IMPACT OR A CRASH
Falling off the bicycle is inherent to cycling. If you have
an accident on your Orbea bicycle, make sure you are
okay and seek medical attention if necessary. If you have
not suffered any injuries, you should check the condition
of your bicycle before continuing.
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 immediately
stop using the bicycle. On carbon frames, look for cracks
or soft spots in the carbon. If you detect any of these
symptoms, you must immediately stop using the bicycle.
The materials used on carbon frames and forks are
rigid and strong, but if overloaded or if they suffer an
impact, the fibres do not bend, and they will break. A
sufficiently strong impact on this material could result
in damage that, although not visible at first glance,
could lead to material failure in the future. If you have
any doubts about the consequences of a fall or acci-
dent, contact your Orbea dealer for a correct diagno-
sis 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 notice any damage, pay close atten-
tion to the sound of your bicycle when you ride it again.
Breakage and other problems may 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 AUTHORISED
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 cracks or other signs of deterioration.
A crash or impact can cause serious damage to your
bike and its components, causing them to fail or wear
out prematurely. Failures can occur suddenly and
without warning, causing loss of control of the bi-
cycle, serious injury or even death.
