5. BRAKE MAINTENANCE
• Check the wear status of the brake
pads at regular intervals and repla-
ce them when the braking surfaces
reach the limit marked by the wor-
ding "WEAR LIMIT" or if braking power
is in any way insufficient (Fig. 16).
• Periodically check that the brake
pads are about 1 mm from the surface
of the rim (Fig. 17). If this is not the case,
adjust the distance using the cable
tension adjustment screw (C - Fig. 18). If
this proves insufficient, loosen the cable
securing screw (B - Fig. 18), adjust the
distance of the pads to the rim, reset
the position of the cable and secure it
again by tightening the cable retainer
screw (B - Fig. 18).

WARNING!
Please be sure that you tighten the cable sufficently, without crushing
the cable, so that it does not slip when brakes are applied. A loose or
damaged cable can cause the brake system to malfunction resulting
in an accident, personal injury or death.
• Check torque setting(s) of the brake, brake pad and cable locking
screws at regular intervals.
• Using the bicycle in the rain can lead to a greater accumulation of
sand/dirt on the brake pads, with consequent damage to the rims,
even in the course of a single outing.
To keep the pads in optimum condition and to avoid wear on the
sides of the rims, check your brake pads constantly. Use a file to im-
mediately remove any foreign bodies which could be deposited on
the pads themselves.
• When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping power
of your brakes is greatly reduced and that the adherence of the tires
on the ground is considerably reduced. This makes it harder to control
and stop your bicycle. Extra care is required when riding your bicycle
in wet conditions to avoid an accident.
NOTE
Never spray your bicycle with water under pressure.
Pressurized water, even from the nozzle of a small garden hose, can
pass seals and enter into your Campagnolo
them beyond repair.
Wash your bicycle and Campagnolo
down with water and neutral soap.
