WARNING! - Carefully read, follow and understand the instructions given in
this manual. It is an essential part of the product, and you should keep it in a
safe place for future reference.
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 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 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 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 in-
spected 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
whether the components you selected are suitable for your use, and to determine the frequency
of inspections.
