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.

When assembling a new frame, be sure to check if the following parts are assembled correctly.

NITROGEN : 1. Frame inspection

Install the 3D headset (16) according to

NITROGEN : 2. Headset installation

NITROGEN : 3. Cable housing installation

1. Install the rear derailleur cable

housing starting at the drive side’s

drop-out until it comes out in the top

tube.

2. Install the front derailleur cable

housing starting under the bottom

bracket shell.

3. Install the rear brake cable housing

(see page 8 for details). Use supplied

Jagwire housing (KEB).

Note: For maximum braking performance

it is strongly recommended to use the

non-compressible jagwire KEB housing

(Jagwire 5mmKEB-SL / RCK###).

It’s better to install cable housing before

installing the bottom bracket, crank and fork.

Note: The front brake cable guide (17h)

should be front-oriented to ensure

good rotation of the handle bar.

Rear brake cable housing

Remove the 2 cable stopper (on the

head tube and near the seat collar).

Font section: Measure the necessairy

cable housing to ensure proper rotation

of the handlebar. Insert the “KEB” cable

housing and the cable trough the top

tube.

Rear section: With a magnet, get the

rear brake cable out of the frame, and

pass it through the rear cable stopper.

Mesure the “KEB” rear housing correctly

to avoid interference with the rider’s

left leg.
