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.
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.

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 XROAD 213C: 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 XROAD 213C: 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 XROAD 213C: 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.

Use the proper grommet on
the downtube to x the cable
correctly, depending if you use
mechanical (4h) or electronic
(5b-5c) drive-train.

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 (4g) and
use the Di2 grommet (5a) instead, but leave the 2 screws to
avoid empty holes on the frame.

11
In a mechanical conguration, use the provided cable guide pipe (4f)
for the front derailleur. For an electronic drive-train conguration,
remove the cable guide pipe and use the proper grommet (5a) to x
the cable correctly.

The Di2 battery is hidden in the seatpost,
use the 2 battery holders (8) to x the
battery correctly. Apply a slight amount of
grease on both parts.

KRYPTON XROAD 213C: 5. Saddle adjustment
9.1 Install the saddle on the rocker (3f)
and tighten the rail clamp (3g) using
the screw (3d)
9.2 Adjust the angle, the oset of the
saddle and tighten the bolt (3b).
9.3 The rocker and the rail clamp (3f-
3g) can be ipped to change the saddle
oset.

KRYPTON XROAD 213C: 6. Derailleur hanger adjustment
The front derailleur hanger can be
adjusted according to the front
derailleur angle to obtain an equal
curve between the derailleur and the
big chain ring. Once at the right angle,
use blue 242 Loctite and screw in at
6Nm.
