Orbea products are carefully designed to be long-lasting,
efcient and easy to maintain. The carbon and aluminum
frames on the Occam are extremely corrosion-resistant.
However, your Orbea bicycle needs regular maintenance
of its components in order to work properly and to ensure
their longevity.
1) KEEP YOUR OCCAM CLEAN
Washing your bike with mild soap and water will keep you
looking stylish and allow you to check the condition of the
frame and components. Don’t use high water pressure and
avoid spraying water into bearings or frame tubes. Citrus
degreasers are biodegradeable and do a great job of remo-ving dirty grease from gears and chain.
2) KEEP YOUR OCCAM LUBED
Once your bike is clean, it’s a good time to put fresh lube
on the chain. Use only enough to get inside the links and
wipe off any excess because it will attract dirt. Headset
and pivot bearings should be inspected every few months
for smoothness and to ensure that the seals are intact and
lube is clean.
3) INSPECT YOUR OCCAM BEFORE
YOU RIDE
Do a quick check before every ride to make sure your bike
is in excellent condition. It is very common to discover
small issues at home that can become big problems on the
trail. CHAIN Is the chain dirty, noisy or dry? Clean and lube
your chain before riding. BRAKES Check your brakes to
make sure they are working correctly. Check for missing/
loose caliper and rotor bolts. TIRES Look for damage to
the sidewalls of your tires. Check and adjust tire pressu-re.
WHEELS Spin the wheels and look for wobbles, check
for loose or broken spokes. Check quick release levers
to make sure they are functioning properly. FRONT END
Stand over the saddle, pull on the brakes and rock the bike
back and forth. Feel for any play or knocking that might
indicate a loose headset, loose brake rotors or calipers, or
worn fork bushings.
TEST RIDE Take a quick ride up and down the street to
make sure your bike is shifting and braking properly. Listen for unusual noises.
4) BEARINGS
Bearings are one element subject to wear and tear. They
must be in good condition to ensure that the other parts
of the bicycle work correctly: on the wheels, the steering
column and the bottom bracket, and particularly on the
parts of the full suspension bicycle frame.
Regularly check to make sure that the bearings turn freely
in their housing and there are no signs of lateral play. Bearings that do not turn properly or that have any lateral play
must be replaced immediately in order to prevent wear
and tear to the parts of the frame. Very damp weather
conditions can cause the bearings to wear out faster. Avoid
washing your bicycle with pressurized water hoses. If you
have any questions, take your bicycle to an Orbea dealer
for correct diagnosis and maintenance.
AFTER A CRASH OR IMPACT
Falling is part of riding and it’s impossible to avoid minor
accidents. If you crash your OCCAM, please make sure
you are okay and seek medical attention if necessary. If
you are not injured, you should check your bike before
continuing:
1) Inspect your frame and components for damage.
Do not ride your bike if any problems are detected.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Inspect Frame and fork for evidence of cracking or bending. If cracks are discovered, discontinue use immedia-tely.
Check the drivetrain and spin the wheels to make sure
components are operating correctly. If you discover
da-mage to your components, discontinue use immediately.
Even if you don’t nd any damage, pay careful attention
to the sound of your bike when you continue riding. Unusual noises can be caused by cracks or other problems.
A well-maintained bike will be quiet and free of creaks or
squeaks. Investigate and locate the source of any new
noises.
2) Bring your bike to your Orbea dealer for professio-nal inspection. Some damage can only be detected
by disassembling the bike to check for cracks or other
signs of stress.
A crash or impact can put extraordinary stress on your
bike and components, causing them to fail or to fa-tigue prematurely. Failure can happen suddenly with
no warning, causing loss of control, serious injury or
death.
