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.

Slide seat post shuttle (3) into seat post rail at desired position. Screw seat post chariot
(1) onto shuttle (make sure shuttle M5 holes are aligned upwards) with M5x16 (7) screws and tighten to 6Nm.
Loosely assemble remaining seat post head as shown.
Install saddle inserting rails between upper clamp (5) and lower clamp (4). Adjust the angle, the offset of the saddle using both M5 Hex bolts (8). Tighten using 8mm wrench.
Note: While the seat post chariot lets you adjust saddle setback in a wide positioning window, the lower clamp can additionally be flipped to change saddle setback by
5.2mm.

Steerer Module
(80648)
1. Assemble steerer module using bolts provided (2x front M6x12 + 1x central
M6x35). Make sure washer is placed under central bolt. Tighten all bolts at
10Nm. Use an extended M5 Hex bit or extension to access central bolt.
Note: you might want to temporarily set up the steerer module in order to fit rider, determine stem height position, and cut line prior to tightening bolts (see instructions
on following page).

ELECTRON PRO: 9.1. Steerer Module Setup Instructions
2. The design of the steerer module allows it to be cut to length based on stem height position, similar to a standard fork steerer. You will need to cut the aluminum steerer as shown (use standard steerer cutting jig).
3. File down and cut end of steerer clean to make sure it is free of burr.
4. Insert stem, align with wheel and compress down using top cap and 8mm Hex
Key.
5. Tighten stem according to manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Install preferred drop bar onto stem as per manufacturer’s instructions.
