WIDTH LENGTHWIDTH LENGTH
THIS TECHNICAL MANUAL IS INTENDED FOR USE BY PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS.
Anyone who is not a qualied professional for bicycle assembly must not attempt to install and operate on
the components independently due to the risk of carrying out incorrect operations which could cause the
components to malfunction, resulting in accidents, physical injury or even death.
The actual product may dier from what is illustrated, as the specic purpose of these instructions is to
explain the procedures for using the component.
The 12s chain is not compatible with 10s and 11s drivetrains. Use the 12s chain only and exclusively
with components specically designed by Campagnolo for the Campagnolo®12s drivetrain; using other
combinations could lead to accidents, physical injury or death.
The 11s chain is not compatible with 10s and 12s drivetrains. Use the 11s chain only and exclusively
with components specically designed by Campagnolo for the Campagnolo®11s drivetrain; using other
combinations could lead to accidents, physical injury or death.

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!
3 - 12s / 11s CHAIN INSTALLATION
• All connecting and disconnecting of the Campagnolo® 11s / 12s chains should be performed using the
special Campagnolo® UT-CN300 / UT-CN400 (Tab.pag.3) tool. Use of other tools could damage the chain and/
or provoke unexpected chain failure resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
• The pusher of the Campagnolo®tool UT-CN300 / UT-CN400 is provided with a replaceable tapered tip pin;
if the pin is damaged 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.
WARNING!
3.1 - CHAIN LENGTH FOR 12s MECHANICAL GROUPSETS
For the length of the chain (only with a crankset with 48-32 chainring and 11-34 sprocket box), follow the indications below accor-
ding to the frame chainstay length:
405 - 409 mm: 108 links
410 - 415 mm: 110 links
over 415 mm: 112 links
For any other crankset combination from that indicated above, the chain must be 110 links long for frames with a chainstay length
between 405 and 415 mm.
3.2 - CHAIN LENGTH FOR 12s ELECTRONIC GROUPSETS
• • 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.
• In order to avoid malfunctioning of the
drivetrain, the measurement H should not
under any circumstances be less than
3 mm and must not be greater than 22
mm because, with a large sprocket and
chainring the chain would be excessively
taut.

manual, please take your bicycle to a qualied repair shop.

• 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 adhe-
sive “WARNING!” label (Fig. 4.1).
• n order to avoid malfunctioning of the
drivetrain, the measurement H should not
under any circumstances be less than 3
mm (Fig. 3) and must not be greater than

and chainring the chain would be exces-
sively taut (Fig. 4).
!Unlike the 11s chains, this chain does not have the calibrated hole reference adhesive “Warning” label, which
must be left on the chain, therefore it can be truncated from both sides. We therefore recommend leaving the link
that indicates the chain batch, truncating the opposite side.

- Free the joints as required with delicate

A poorly joined chain could open suddenly when using the bicycle, causing accidents, physical injury or
death. If you have any doubt over your ability to follow the instructions in this manual correctly, contact a
specialist mechanic.
WARNING!
2.4 - CHAIN OPENING
If it becomes necessary to open and close the chain (which can be done only twice), use only the special
Campagnolo ULTRA-LINK 5-CN-RE500 (11s) / 5-CN-RE600 (12s) pin with Campagnolo UT-CN400 (12s) / UT-CN300
(11s / 12s) tool.
The use of pin produced by different manufacturers can damage the chain. A damaged chain can break, even
suddenly, and cause accidents, injuries and even death.
WARNING!
Opening and closing the chain on more than two occasions can result in the chain unexpectedly failing while
riding, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
WARNING!
- Get the special Campagnolo® bushing ULTRA-LINK ULTRA-LINK 5-CN-RE500 (11s) / 5-CN-RE600 (12s).
- Only and exclusively use the tool UT-CN400 (12s) / UT-CN300 (11s / 12s).
- Identify the opening link on the chain; this must be different and away from the one used for closing the first time (a link that can be
recognizable from the impression showing the production batch).
Note
To open the chain, carry out the operations indicated in chapter 3 “Chain installation”, using the Campagnolo® tool UT-CN400 (12s)
/ UT-CN300 (11s / 12s) only.

4 - 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.).
!for cleaning the bicycle only use environmentally-friendly and neutral products without caustic substances and
safe to use for you and for the environment.
• 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.
Lubricant residues on the rims, brake shoes, discs and brake pads can decrease or nullify your bicycle’s braking
capacity, and can lead to accidents, physical injuries, or even 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.
WARNING!
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.
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.
WARNING!
!To increase the service life of the chain-rings and the chain, the chain can be cleaned with neutral detergent (avoi-
ding the use of degreasers) and thoroughly lubricate it.
• Do not remove the chain to clean and/or lubricate it.
• Before lubricating, thoroughly clean the drive system (chain, sprocket set, chain-rings and derailleur pulleys) with a brush or cloth
saturated with a neutral detergent. Never use alkaline or acid based solvents, such as rust preventive products, as they could break
the chain, resulting in possible serious injuries.
- 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.
!During the operations of the chain lubrication pay special attention that the lubricant goes inside the rollers.
A chain without proper lubrication causes abnormal noise and excessive wear of the drive system.

4.1 - CHAIN REPLACEMENT
Fig.1
A chain typically lasts, depending on the
conditions of use and on the frequency
and quality of maintenance operations.
Use a high precision 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.

!If even one of the measurement is longer than 132.60 mm the chain must immediately be replaced.
5 - PERIODIC MAINTENANCE TABLE
Maintenance intervals are strictly approximate and may vary significantly in relation to the intensity and conditions of use (for example:
competitions, rain, winter roads with salt, weight of the athlete, etc.). Schedule the appropriate maintenance with your mechanic.
