GAIN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 31
FRAME AND MATERIAL
Orbea frames are carefully designed to be durable,
efficient, and easy to maintain. Gain tubes are stiff
and light, giving excellent steering precision and pe-
daling efficiency. Gain carbon frame is extremely re-
sistant to corrosion, making it perfect for road. With
only a minimum amount of maintenance, it’s easy to
keep your Gain in top condition.
1) Keep your Gain clean
Washing your bike with mild soap and water will keep
you looking stylish and allow you to check the con-
dition of the frame and components. Don’t 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 Gain 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 Gain 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
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.
AFTER A CRASH OR IMPACT
Falling is part of riding and it’s impossible to avoid
minor accidents. If you crash your Gain, please make
sure you are okay and seek medical attention if ne-
cessary. If you are not injured, you should check your
bike before continuing:
1) Inspect your frame and components for da-
mage. Do not ride your bike if any problems are de-
tected.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Inspect Frame and fork for evidence of cracking or
bending. If cracks are discovered, discontinue use
immediately.
Check the drivetrain and spin the wheels to make sure
components are operating correctly. If you discover
damage to your components, discontinue use imme-
diately.
Even if you don’t find any damage, pay careful atten-
tion to the sound of your bike when you continue rid-
ing. 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.
MAINTENANCE AND PART REPLACEMENT IN OUR
eBIKES
The components of your eBike are associated with
your frame number. If a component is6 replaced, it
must be linked to your bike through a special system
available at all technical6 service centers and shops
authorized by your brand. Visit one of these points
to complete6 the purchase and replacement opera-
tion. The components of your e-bike are designed to6
be used in poor weather conditions, such as rain and
snow, and are protected against6 splashing, but not
against immersion or pressurized water. It is impor-
tant when transporting6 your eBike outside on a car
or camper to properly protect the bike, or at least the
most6 delicate electronic parts, such as the remote
control, display and USB port, with a tarp.6 Keep the
remote control free of dust and water. Never use pres-
surized water systems on6 the surface of the battery,
motor, remote control, display or charging port
.
2) Bring your bike to your Orbea dealer for pro-
fessional inspection. Some damage can only be de-
tected 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 fatigue prematurely. Failure can
happen suddenly with no warning, causing loss
of control, serious injury or death.
