12. PERIODICAL WHEEL MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
Using wheels that have not been centred properly or which have broken or damaged spokes may result in accidents, personal injury or
death.
• After using the wheel for the first time, check wheel trueness and circularity.
• Before every ride, check the condition of the tires and inflation pressure.
• Lubricate the hubs every 2,000-3,000 km (1,200-1,800 miles).
• Remove, disassemble and check the hubs every 10,000-20,000 km (6,000-12,000 miles).
• Periodically get the mechanic to verify every component that is subject to wear (rims, ball bearings) and, if necessary, get it replaced.
• At least once each month, please take your bicycle to a qualified mechanic to check the tension of the spokes, wheel centering and wheel dish
and correct as necessary.
• Periods and riding distances are purely indicative and may be significantly different in relation to conditions of use and the intensity of your activ-
ity (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.
12.1 - CLEANING THE WHEELS
When cleaning the wheels, only use non-aggressive, non-corrosive products such as water and neutral soap, or specific products specially designed
for cleaning bicycles. Absolutely never use abrasive or metal sponges. Dry with a soft cloth.
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
beyond repair. Wash your bicycle and Campagnolo
12.2 - TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
When transporting the wheel separately from the bike or if the wheel will not be used for a long period of time, store it in the wheelbag to protect
it against impacts and dirt.
