different in relation to conditions of use and the intensity of your activity
(for example: racing, rain, salted Winter roads, weight of the rider etc.).
Check with your mechanic to select a schedule that is best for you based
on your size, riding conditions and you riding style.
• Water and dirt are the most frequent causes of components damage. Please
keep your bicycle and all its components clean and dry.
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 the components of your bicycle, damaging them beyond
repair.
Wash your bicycle and Campagnolo
®
and neutral soap.
GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Be sure that the periodic maintenance schedule is strictly followed.
• Always use original Campagnolo spare parts.
®
• Never make any modifications whatsoever to the Campagnolo
nents.
• Parts which have been bent or otherwise damaged in an accident or as
a result of any other impact must not be re-straightened. They must be
replaced immediately with original Campagnolo
• Wear clothes which are snug-fitting and which make you visible to traffic,
such as neon, fluorescent, or other bright colors.
• Avoid biking at night, because it is more difficult for you to be seen by
traffic, and it is more difficult for you to see obstructions on the ground. If
you do ride at night, you should equip your bicycle with and use a headlight
and a taillight.
• 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. Also bear in mind that because of the progressive
drying of the braking surface during braking itself, braking power may vary
sharply. 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.
• Campagnolo S.r.l. reminds you to always wear a properly fitted and fastened
bicycle helmet that has been approved by ANSI or SNELL.
• If you ever have any comments, questions, or concerns, please contact your
nearest Campagnolo dealer.
