Chain Maintenance - CAMPAGNOLO Ultra Narrow Handbuch

• Make sure that chain closure does not present any "harsh points" or links that
do not bend freely (Fig. 18 - page 34).
Free the joints as required with delicate lateral bending of the links.

3. CHAIN MAINTENANCE

• 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, thoroughly clean the drive system (chain, sprocket set,
chainrings and derailleur pulleys) with a brush or cloth saturated with an appro-
priate degreaser or detergent.
• Lubricate the chain.
• 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.
• At the end of the lubrication operation, CAREFULLY degrease rims and brake
pads with acetone.
