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.

GALLIUM PRO 210A: 3. Cables & housing installation
Rear brake cable housing
Remove the cable stopper (4) near the seat collar.
Font section: Mesure the necessary cable housing to ensure a proper
rotation of the handlebar. Insert the cable trough the shifter, then insert
the cable and the housing with a ferrule in the head tube.
Rear section: With a magnet, get the rear brake cable out of the frame,
and pass it trough the rear cable stopper. Measure 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.

GALLIUM PRO 210A: 3. Cable & housing installation
Front and rear derailleur: Pass
the two cables inside the frame
starting from the top tube
until they come out under the
bottom bracket.
Pass both cables into the cable
guide (19). Make sure the 5mm
screw is set to 1.5 Nm.
For a Di2 conguration, use
the bottom bracket dedicated
cover for electric shifting (18).
It’s better to install the cables
before installing the bottom
bracket and crank. 19

GALLIUM PRO 210A: 4. Electronic drive-train specication
The Di2 cable routing can be achieved easily using this
simple trick: use a brake cable and a metal cable end to
x the Di2 cable. For more information on Shimano Di2
electronic system installation, go to: http://si.shimano.com.

Use the proper grommet
on the headtube to x the
cable correctly (depending
if you use a mechanical or
electronic drive-train).

11
Use the proper grommet / cable stopper for the rear
derailleur (depending if you use mechanical or electronic
drive-train).
In a Di2 conguration, remove the cable stopper (3) and use
the Di2 grommet (6) instead, but leave the 2 scews to avoid
empty holes on the frame.

In a mechanical conguration, use the provided cable guide pipe (12)
for the front derailleur. For an electronic drive-train conguration,
remove the cable guide pipe and use the proper grommet (23) to x
the cable correctly.

The Di2 battery is hidden in the
seatpost; use the Di2 battery holder to
x the battery correctly. Apply a slight
amount of grease on both parts.

chain ring. Once at the right angle, use
blue 242 Loctite and screw in at 6Nm.
