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 components, damaging them beyond repair. Wash your
bicycle and Campagnolo components by wiping them down with water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANT: for cleaning the bicycle only use environmentally-friendly and neutral products without caustic substances and safe to use for you and for the environment.
WARNING!
Never use solvents, particularly alcohol, acetone, petrol and diesel, on the surface of the labels when cleaning the rim: these types of labels are extremely resi-
stant to atmospheric agents but they are susceptible to solvents and they cannot be replaced.
Use only mild cleaning substances such as water and neutral soap, or specific products for cleaning bicycles, to clean the wheels. Dry using a soft cloth and
never use abrasive or metallic sponges.
WARNING!
Salt water environments (as found on winter roads and near the seaside) can cause galvanic corrosion on most bike parts. Carefully rinse, clean, dry and re-
lubricate all exposed parts to avoid damage, malfunctions and accidents.
When transporting your wheels separately from the bicycle, place them individually in the specially-designed Campagnolo bags (which can be purchased separately from the
wheels), and do not place any objects on top of them.
When transporting your wheels fitted on the bike, protect them using padded anti-friction material before securing with straps or other anchoring system.
