CAMPAGNOLO 11 Speed User manual

WARNING!
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!
Different combinations from those included in the table could cause the malfunction of the drivetrain and result in an accident,
personal injury or death.

WARNING!
An incorrectly assembled chain unexpectedly break,
while riding in an accident, personal injury, or death.
If you have any doubt whatsoever regarding your
ability to properly perform any of the operations in
this manual, please take your bicycle to a qualified
repair shop.
WARNING!
All connecting and disconnecting of the Campagnolo®11 SPEED chains should be performed using the special Campagnolo®UT-CN300
tool. Use of other tools could damage the chain and/or provoke unexpected chain failure resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
• Determine the correct length of the chain positioning it
on the sprocket and the smallest chainring and ensuring
that the measurement H (Fig. 1), the distance between the
bottom part of the rocker and the upper part of the chain,
is about circa 10 - 15 mm.
• Perform all of the following operations and remove extra
links from the side of the chain opposite the external link,
which is identified by the plastic band and the adhesive
“WARNING!” label.
H
• In order to avoid malfunctioning of the drivetrain, the
measurement H should not under any circumstances be
less than 3 mm (Fig. 2) and must not be greater than 22
mm because, with a large sprocket and chainring the chain
would be excessively taut (Fig. 3).

WARNING!
The pusher of the Campagnolo®tool UT-CN300 is provi-
ded with a replaceable tapered tip pin; if the pin is dama-
ged or it becomes worn, please replace it with the suitable
Campagnolo®spare pin UT-CN301. Failure to timely
replace the tip pin can damage your chain, resulting in an
accident, personal injury or death.

- Tighten the tool until the small pin emerges completely
from the hole in the link (Fig. 6).

• Unscrew tool UT-CN300 Fig. 9.
• Position the tool UT-CN300 as shown in Fig. 10.
3.1.1 - INSERTING THE BUSHING ULTRA-LINK CN-RE500
• Remove the plastic band and the adhesive “Warning”
label.
•To install the closing pin ULTRA-LINK CN-RE500, place
the chain on the bottom bracket shell.
• Insert the inner link (B - Fig. 7) into the outer link (C -
Fig. 7), and then insert the guide of the rivet ULTRA-LINK
CN-RE500 (D - Fig. 7) into the hole of the link from the
inside of the chain towards the outside.
• Move the chain on to the larger chainring (keeping it on
the smallest sprocket), then position the links to be closed
in the area indicated in Figure 8.

• Fit the link to be closed in the relative seats (Fig. 11).
• Clamp the link with the special clamping device (Z - Fig.

• Insert the protruding part of the guide into the hole provi-
ded at the base of the tool and split it by bending (Fig. 15).
Note
The terminal part of the split guide must always remain
inside the rivet.
• Remove the clamping device and remove the chain from
the tool.

Note
In order to minimize the possibility of damaging the chain
irreparably, DO NOT TIGHTEN the tool beyond the stop.
Let the rivet ULTRA-LINK CN-RE500 (E) protrude 0.1 mm
from the inner side of the chain (Fig. 14).

• Check that the tapered tip of the pusher (F) (Fig. 12) is in
line with the centre of the rivet ULTRA-LINK CN-RE500 (E)

• While exerting a uniform force, screw in the tool (Fig. 13)
so that the rivet ULTRA-LINK CN-RE500 (E) has completely
entered the thickness of the chain.

• Make sure that chain closure does not present any “harsh
points” or links that do not bend freely (Fig. 23 - 23.1).
Free the joints as required with delicate lateral bending of

4 - MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
If it becomes necessary to open and close the chain (which can be done only twice), use only the special Campagnolo Ultra-link
CN-RE500 socket with Campagnolo UT-CN300 tool.
The use of sockets produced by different manufacturers can damage the chain. A damaged chain can break, even suddenly, and cause
accidents, injuries and even death.
•The life of the chain depends on conditions of use and on the frequency and quality of maintenance. To keep the chain in good condi-
tion, 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 satura-
ted with an appropriate 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.
4.1 - CHAIN REPLACEMENT
123
132,60 mm max
456
A chain typically lasts between 2,000 miles and 5,000 miles,
depending on the conditions of use and on the frequency
and quality of maintenance operations. Use a high preci-
sion caliper gauge to measure, in different points of the
chain, the length as indicated in fig. 1. If even one of the
measurement is longer than 132.60 mm the chain must
immediately be replaced.
WARNING!
• Traces of lubricant on the rims and brake pads can reduce or eliminate the braking capabilities of your bicycle, resulting in an
accident, personal injury or death.
• Using poor-quality or incorrect lubricant may damage the chain and cause excessive wear or damage to the system. A damaged
drive system can malfunction, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
NOTE
Never spray your bicycle with water under pressure. Pressurized water, even from the nozzle of a small garden hose, can pass seals and
enter into your Campagnolo® components, damaging them beyond repair. Wash your bicycle and Campagnolo®components by wiping
them down with water and neutral soap.
WARNING!
Salt water environments (as found on winter roads and near the seaside) can cause galvanic corrosion on most bike parts. Carefully
rinse, clean, dry and re-lubricate all exposed parts to avoid damage, malfunctions and accidents.
