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. These components must be installed using a calibered torque wrench to make sure every bolt is at
the right torque setting to prevent damage.

Adapters might be required, consult brake manufacturer.
• Rear mount thickness: 30mm
• Rear at mount xing bolt length (for 140mm rotor): 43mm

No more than 30mm of spacer can be place between the stem and the top cap of the 3D system.
And the use of more than 5mm spacer on top of the stem could void the eciency of the compressor.
These practices will automatically cancel any warranty claim against the manufacturer.
