MECHANIC QUALIFICATION - Please be advised that many bicycle
service and repair tasks require specialized knowledge, tools and
experience. General mechanical aptitude may not be sufficient to
properly service or repair your bicycle. If you have any doubt what-
soever regarding your service/repair ability, please take your bicycle
to a qualified repair shop.
INTENDED USE - This Campagnolo
tured for use only on road racing style bicycles that are ridden only
on smooth road or track surfaces. Any other use of this product, such
as off-road or on trails is forbidden.
LIFESPAN - WEAR - INSPECTION REQUIREMENT - The lifespan of com-
ponents depends on many factors, such as rider size and riding
conditions. Impacts, falls, improper use or harsh use in general may
compromise the structural integrity of the components and signifi-
cantly reduce their lifespan. Some components are also subject to
wear over time. Please have your bicycle regularly inspected by a
qualified mechanic for any cracks, deformation, signs of fatigue or
wear (use of penetrating fluid or other visual enhancers to locate
cracks on aluminum parts is recommended). If the inspection reveals
any deformation, cracks, impact marks or stress marks, no matter how
slight, immediately replace the component; components that have
experienced excessive wear also need immediate replacement. The
frequency of inspection depends on many factors; check with your
qualified mechanic to select a schedule that is best for you. If you
weigh 82 kg/180 lbs or more, you must be especially vigilant and have
your bicycle inspected more frequently (than someone weighting
less than 82 kg/180 lbs) for any evidence of cracks, deformation, or
other signs of fatigue or stress. Check with your mechanic to discuss
