5 - CHAIN MAINTENANCE
ENGLISH
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!
- 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 lubrication 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 derail-
leur 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 pads.
- After applying the lubricant move the cranks and engage all possible gear combinations in
order to thoroughly lubricate the entire drive system.
- Thoroughly clean any residual lubricant from the bicycle and floor.
