DANGER!

If you have a very small frame, there may be the danger of your foot col-
liding with the front wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly
adjusted.
DANGER!

All tasks described in the following require the know-how of a mechanic
and appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted connections
always with greatest attention. Increase the torque values bit by bit and check
the fit of the component in between. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the
maximum torque values! The torque values are given in the chapter “Recom-
mended torque settings for your BERGAMONT bike” in this BERGAMONT short
manual as well as in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s manual, directly on
the components and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers on the
enclosed BERGAMONT info CD.

The seating position depends highly on how you want to use the
BERGAMONT bike. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer or your coach for
help. The advice given below are suitable for typical BERGAMONT road,
BERGAMONT city, BERGAMONT trekking and BERGAMONT cross-country/
marathon bikes.

If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your
crotch, this may be due to the saddle. Your BERGAMONT dealer has a very
wide range of saddles available and will be pleased to advise you.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT
The correct saddle height depends on the length of your legs. When pedalling,
the ball of your foot should be positioned above the centre of the pedal axle.
With your feet in this position you should not be able to stretch your legs com-
pletely straight at the lowest point (a), otherwise your pedalling will become
awkward.
Check the height of your saddle with flat-soled shoes. This is best done with
suitable cycling shoes.
Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at its lowest point (b). Your leg
should be fully stretched and your hips should remain horizontal.
To adjust the saddle height loosen the quick-release lever (see chapter “Using
quick-releases and thru axles“) or the binder bolt of the seat post clamp at the
top of the seat tube (c). The latter requires suitable tools, e.g. an Allen key, with
which you turn the bolt two to three turns anticlockwise. Now you can perform
the vertical adjustment of the seat post.
Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far – the mark on the seat post (end,
max., min., stop or the like) should always remain within the seat tube (d) and
always grease the part of an aluminium or titanium seat post that is inserted
into a seat tube made of aluminium, titanium or steel. Do not grease carbon
seat posts and/or carbon seat tubes in the clamping area! Use special carbon
assembly paste instead.
Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom brack-
et or top tube as a reference point (e).
Clamp the seat post tight again by closing the quick-release, as described in the
chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles” or by turning the seat post binder
bolts clockwise in half turns or better in steps of 0.5 Nm increments starting at
3 Nm. You should not need much strength in your hands to clamp the seat post
sufficiently tight. Otherwise the seat post does not match the frame.
Verify in between that the seat post is sufficiently tight by taking hold of the
saddle at both ends and then trying to rotate the seat post inside the seat tube
(f). If it does rotate, gently retighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp by
half a turn or better by a quater turn or in steps of 0.5 Nm increments and do
the check again.
Does the leg stretch test now produce the correct result? Check by moving your
foot and pedal to the lowest point. When the ball of your foot is exactly above
the pedal centre in the ideal pedalling position, your knee should be slightly
bent. If this is the case, the saddle height is adjusted to the correct height.
