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 calibrated torque

wrench to make sure every bolt is at the right torque setting to prevent damage.

IMPORTANT:

The following parts are assembled on the frame. When assembling the bike, you will need to adjust these parts according to their torque

specications.

NITROGEN PRO 230A: 1. Frame Inspection

BEFORE ASSEMBLING YOUR NEW NITROGEN PRO, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE FOLLOWING:

1. Brakes and gears cables and housing set

2: Frameset parts checklist (see p.36)

3: Inspect the frame for cosmetic aspect (scratches, bumps, cracks, paint defect, etc.)

4: For reference, check serial number and write it on p.1

5: All the necessary bolts (refer to Frameset Parts, p.3)

6: For optimal shifting performance, use a dropout alignment gauge to make sure that the drive-side dropout is

straight (p.35)

IMPORTANT: 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.

To remove the 3D bearing holder, insert the Park Tool

RT-1 and then tap it carefully until the spacer comes out.

STEP

Inspect the bike’s head tube for any sharp edges and

apply a small amount of grease.

STEP

For the 25mm and 15mm setups, lightly grease the

bottom section of the 3D bearing holder (6) and insert

the plastic sleeve (7).

STEP

Position the headset inside the head tube. Place

the top 3D assembly with the headset bearing inside

(this will prevent the sleeve from getting damaged).

Add the compression ring on top of the bearing, then

add the press t 3D system tool and softly press down

the assembly until it bottoms out using a Bearing Cup

Press (Park Tool HHP-2). Then, insert the bottom

bearing (5), compression ring (4) micro spacers (3) and

top cap (2), slide the fork and stem and measure the

steerer length needed.

For the 0mm setup , do not use the plastic sleeve.

Install the 3D bearing holder (6) with grease applied

directly inside the frame.

STEP

First, you must assess which setup suits your needs:

25mm, 15mm or 0mm.
