AFTER AN IMPACT OR A CRASH

Falling off the bike is inherent to cycling. If you have an
accident on your Orbea bicycle, make sure you are okay
and seek medical attention if necessary. If you have not
suffered any injuries, you should check the condition of
your bike before continuing.
INSPECT THE FRAME AND THE BICYCLE
COMPONENTS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE BEEN
DAMAGED IN ANY WAY
If you detect any problem, do not continue to ride the
bicycle.

POINTS TO CHECK
Inspect the frame and the fork to identify whether either of
these components have been broken or bent. If you detect
any damage or cracks, you must immediately stop using
the bicycle. On carbon frames, look for cracks or soft spots
in the carbon. If you detect any of these symptoms, you
must immediately stop using the bicycle.
The materials used on carbon frames and
forks are rigid and strong, but if overload-
strong impact on this material could result
glance, could lead to material failure in the
future. If you have any doubts about the con-
sequences of a fall or accident, contact your
Orbea distributor for a correct diagnosis of
the materials.
Check the drivetrain and the wheels to make sure that the
components operate correctly. If you discover any damage
to the components, stop using the bicycle immediately.
Even if you do not notice any damage, pay close attention
to the sound of your bike when you ride it again. Break-
age and other problems may cause unusual noises. If you
notice any unusual noise, stop using your bicycle immedi-
ately and contact your Orbea dealer for a correct diagnosis
of the problem.
TAKE YOUR ORBEA BICYCLE TO AN AUTHORISED
DEALER FOR A PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION
Some of the consequences of a fall or accident can only be
detected by completely disassembling the bicycle to check
for cracks or other signs of deterioration.
A crash or impact can cause serious dam-
age to your bicycle and its components,
causing them to fail or wear out premature-
ly. Failures can occur suddenly and without
warning, causing loss of control of the bicy-
cle, serious injury or even death.
