    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Hi. I'm new to the forum and Orbea bikes. I bought a D30 online from Bike Bling in Southern California. The bike arrived with a loose headset, not surprising since the handlebars were detached from the stem for shipping. If you are unfamiliar with headset adjustment do not fear; the process...
