For the warranty to be valid, the bicycle must be fully assembled by an authorized Argon 18 dealer. High-end components,
particularly carbon parts, need extra care when assembled. Those components must be installed using a calibrated torque
wrench to make sure every bolt is at the right torque setting to prevent damage.

Rear brake cable housing
Remove the 2 cable stoppers near the head tube
and seat collar.
Font section: Measure the necessary cable housing
to ensure proper rotation of the handlebar. Insert
the cable through the shifter, than insert the cable
housing in the top tube.
Rear section: With a magnet, get the rear brake
cable out of the frame, and pass it trough the rear
cable stopper. Mesure the rear housing correctly
to avoid interference with the rider’s left leg. Fix
the cable to the brake according to the brake
manufacturer assembly guide.

cable guide (4d).
Fix the cable guide cap under
the bottom bracket with the
5mm screw (1.5 Nm).
It’s better to install the cables
before installing the bottom
