levers of both brakes and move the bicycle forward and backward:
if the bicycle makes a strange noise, some of the elements of the
braking system may be loose. Have the components thoroughly
checked by qualifi ed personnel.
Brake pads
If the pads look worn or if they do not touch the entire surface of
the wheel rim in a uniform manner, they need to be replaced with
original spare parts or in any case parts that are compatible with the
rims and with the braking system.
Head set
Lift the front wheel from the ground and turn it one way and then the
other. If you detect any diffi culty or irregularity in the steering, one
of the elements may be faulty. Afterwards, reposition the front wheel
on the ground, operate the front brake, put two fi ngers around the
top cover of the head set and, by moving the bicycle forward and
backward, make sure there is no play in the head set. If there is,
have the bicycle checked over completely.
Bottom Bracket (BB) set
Grab a pedal and move it towards the central axis of the bicycle
and vice versa.
Repeat this operation with the other pedal. If you detect any play,
have your bicycle subjected to a complete check.
Shifters
Check the cables of the shifters and of the brakes as well as the
cable housings.
If you notice any rust, fraying or entanglements, proceed to

Spokes tension
Use your thumb and index fi nger to check the tension of each pair of
spokes on both sides of the wheel. If some of the spokes seem to be
loose, have them checked along with the wheel centering.
Frame and fork
Visually check the frame, paying special attention to the welded
areas between the various tubes, to the steering tube, to the
seat post, to the bottom bracket and to the rear dropouts. Deep
scratches, cracks or discoloring indicate that the parts have
undergone excessive stress and must be replaced. The same check
must be carried out on the fork, specifi cally in the folding areas of
the sheathing inside the fork stay and on the front fork ends.
DANGER / SAFETY NORM:
Just like any other mechanical device, the bicycle and its
components are subjected to stress and wear. The materials and
mechanisms that make up your new Bianchi Reparto Corse feature
different structural characteristics that affect their performances,
the strength of reaction to stress and preservation against wear. If
the "useful life" of a component is exceeded, the component can
suddenly fail and create situations of great danger, exposing the
user to the risk of injury or accidents. Deep scratches, cracks and
discoloring are symptoms of excessive wear of a component, and
indicate the need to replace it immediately.
Bianchi invites you to always monitor the adjustments of the
control components and to periodically clean and lubricate your
new Reparto Corse bicycle.
