- Please be advised that if the maintenance and repair procedures provided in this manual are not pro-
perly performed, or if the other instructions in this manual are not followed, an accident could occur.
- Never make any modifications whatsoever to any component of any Campagnolo® product.
- 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® parts.
- Wear clothes which are snug-fitting and which make you visible to traffic, such as neon fluore-
scent 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 tail light.
- Never use a bicycle or bicycle component unless you are thoroughly familiar with its use and
maintenance history. "Used" equipment may have been misused and abused, and can unexpectedly
fail resulting in an accident.
- When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping power of your brakes is greatly redu-
ced and that the aderence of the tires on the ground is considerably reduced. 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.
- Always wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet that has been approved by ANSI or
SNELL.
DO NOT RIDE YOUR BICYCLE IF IT DOES NOT PASS THIS PRE-RIDE TEST CORRECT ANY CONDITION
BEFORE YOUR RIDE.
- Be sure that all of the components of your bicycle, including but not limited to your brakes, pedals,
handgrips, handlebars, frame and seating system, are in optimum condition and suitable for use.
- Be sure that none of the components of bicycle are bent, damaged or out of alignment.
- Check to be sure that all quick release fasteners, nuts and bolts are properly adjusted. Bounce the
bicycle on the ground and listen and look for anything which may be loose.
- Make sure the wheels are perfectly centred. Spin the wheel to make sure that it does not wobble
up and down or from side to side, that it does not come into contact with the fork or the brake
shoes, and that the disc does not touch the brake calipers' pads.
