If you decide to assemble your bike, your warranty is valid with or without a mechanic sign-off or inspection.
However, it is important to understand that damages resulting from improper assembly are not covered by the warranty.
Please watch our assembly video and read about common mistakes on our support page before attempting assembly.
These links will always have the most up to date tips:
General Assembly Info

incorrect installation of crank arm or chainring
- results in unseemly noise, increased wear on bottom bracket and potential damage to spindle or crank
incorrect installation of headset and steerer tube
- results in wobbling or creaking and undue stress/increased wear on the headset construction

incorrect reinstallation of rear wheel correctly (arrives installed - applicable in cases of rear wheel removal)
