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.

Install the front and rear derailleur
cable starting at the top of the down
tube.
For the derailleur and hydraulic
housing, measure a sucient length
of housing to be able to turn the
handlebar both ways correctly.

KRYPTON X ROAD : 3. Cable housing installation
Hydraulic brakes housing
Font section: Measure the necessary housing to ensure proper rotation of the handlebar. Insert the housing
through the fork starting at the caliper.
Rear section: Remove both brake grommets (4j - front & rear). Run the hydraulic housing from the back of the
bike to the front, and connect the housing to the lever as recommended by the brake manufacturer.

KRYPTON X ROAD : 3. Cable housing installation
Front and rear derailleur: Pass
the two cables inside the frame
starting 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.

KRYPTON X ROAD : 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.
The same method can be use for hydraulic cable housing
routing.

KRYPTON X ROAD : 4. Electronic drive-train specication
Use the proper grommet on
the downtube to x the cable
correctly, depending if you use
mechanical (4h) or electronic
(5b-5c) drive-train.
