7 - CHAIN MAINTENANCE
The use of sprockets or chainrings which are not marked Campagnolo
®
can
damage the chain. This may result in its unexpected opening of the chain
and cause accidents, personal injury or death.
WARNING!
ENGLISH
- The life of the chain depends on conditions of use and on the frequency and
quality of maintenance. To keep the chain in good condition, cleaning and lubri-
cation must therefore be repeated frequently, especially if it is subjected to heavy-
duty use (i.e. after washing your bicycle, after every ride in wet, dusty or muddy
conditions etc.)
- Do not remove the chain for cleaning and lubrication.
- Before lubricating, carefully clean the drivetrain (chain, cassette, chainrings and
rear derailleur wheels) with a non-abrasive brush coated in a suitable degreaser/
detergent.
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.
- Lubricate each individual roller drop by drop, so that the oil penetrates to the
pin inside. Avoid using spray oils, which can easily come into contact with brake
blocks or brake pads.
- After applying the lubricant move the cranks and engage all possible gear com-
binations in order to thoroughly lubricate the entire drive system.
