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.
