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: 3. Cables & housing installation
Rear brake cable housing
Remove the cable stopper (4g) 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: 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 (4d). 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 (4i).
It’s better to install the cables
before installing the bottom
bracket and crank. 4d

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
