I recently purchased a very nice Colnago Dream Plus, which I've been putting some high mileage on
over the past few weeks. Now that I've gained some familiarity with it I'm lining up the few things
I wish to change. As it didn't come with any owners manual I was wondering if there's any such thing
for the frame. Most of the Campy gruppo I can get info straight from Campy, but I don't know
anything about sizes and threading on this (my first italian bike.) i.e. I've seen mention of
English threading on BB's and wonder what this means.
As it arrived:
+ 2002 Colnago Dream Plus frame, Flash Fork
+ Campy Record: shifters/brake levers, 11-23 cassette (recently learned
12/13 small cog require different lockring), C-10 chain
+ Campy Chorus: brakes, F & R ders, BB, Crankset
+ ITM stem, Cinelli bars, Chris King NoThread HS, Selle Italia saddle
+ Campy Eurus wheels
Other useful knowledge would include:
Replacement of chain (need the spendy Campy tool or will any decent chaintool suffice? Any special
knowlege, i.e. don't do this... or if this happens your screwed...)
Shifer cable maintenance/replacement. It's a bit tardy so it's sticking somewhere, but I've
been warned to exercise caution before sticking my nose and tools under the hoods. A how-to?
Special advice?
Thanks in advance.
