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 whatsoever regarding your service/repair ability,
please take your bicycle to a qualified repair shop.
"AN ACCIDENT" - Please note that throughout this manual, reference is made
that "an accident" could occur. Any accident could result in damage to your
bicycle, its components and, more importantly, could cause you or a bystander
to sustain severe personal injury or even death.
INTENDED USE - This Campagnolo
product is designed and manufactured 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 Campagnolo
®
components depends on many factors, such as rider size and riding conditions.
Impacts, falls, improper use or harsh use in general may compromise the struc-
tural integrity of the components and significantly 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 parts is recommended). If the inspection reveals any deformation,
cracks, impact marks or stress marks, no matter how slight, immediately repla-
ce the component; components that have experienced excessive wear also
need immediate replacement. The frequency of inspection depends on many
factors; check with your authorized Campagnolo
representative 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, defor-
mation, or other signs of fatigue or stress. Check with your mechanic to discuss
