TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Aluminium Orbea frames are carefully designed to be
durable, efficient and easy to care for. The over-sized,
hydroformed tubes are stiff and light, giving excellent
steering precision and pedaling efficiency. Aluminium
is extremely resistant to corrosion, making it perfect
for riding off road. With only a minimum amount of
maintenande, it's easy to keep your Rallon in top con-
dition.
1) Keep your Rallon clean
Washing your bike with mild soap and water will keep
you looking stylish and allow you to check the condi-
tion of the frame and components. Dont's use high
water pressure and avoid spraying water into bearings
or frame tubes. Citrus degreasers are biodegradea-
ble and do a great job of removing dirty grease from
gears and chain.
2) Keep your Rallon 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 Rallon before you ride
Do a quick check before every ride to make sure your
bike is in excellent condition. It is very common to dis-
cover small issues at home that can become big pro-
blems 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 pressure. 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 mi-
ght indicate a loose headset, loose brake rotors or ca-
lipers, 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.
