7 - MAINTENANCE / LUBRICATION / CLEANING
• The duration of the components is variable based on the conditions of use, frequency
and quality of maintenance. For proper component maintenance, it is necessary to fre-
quently perform the cleaning and lubrication operations, especially under conditions
of heavy use (e.g. each time after washing the bicycle, after use in wet conditions, on
dusty or muddy roads etc.).
• Check chapter 8 to determine the frequency with which you should have maintenan-
ce performed on your components by a specialised mechanic: Period maintenance.
• Dirt seriously damages the bicycle and its components. Wash, clean and dry your
bicycle carefully after use.
• Never spray your bicycle with water under pressure. Pressurized water, even form
the nozzle of a small garden hose, can pass under seals and enter your Campagnolo
components, thereby affecting its operation. Wash your bicycle and Campagnolo
components by wiping them down with water and neutral soap.
• Check that any holes on the bottom bracket shell are unobstructed and allow water
infiltrating into the frame to drain.
• Do not expose the products to high temperature, do not leave them closed in cars
parked under the sun, do not keep them near radiators or other heat sources, do not
leave carbon or plastic products in direct sunlight.
If one or more of these problems are found or in the event of any doubts on the correct
operation of the component, contact a specialised mechanic as indicated in chapter 2
"Information and technical support".
