DANGER!
G
The bolted connections of stem and handlebars have to be tightened
to the prescribed torque values. If you disregard the prescribed values,
the handlebars or stem may come loose or break. Use a torque wrench and
never exceed the maximum torque values! The torque values are given in the
chapter “Recommended 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.
DANGER!
G
Stems come in varying lengths (a) as well as shaft and binder tube diame-
ters (b). A stem of inappropriate dimension can become a source of dan-
ger: Handlebars or stems can break, resulting in an accident. When replacing
any parts, be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate mark and, to be on
the safe side, original spare parts. Your BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to
help you.
CAUTION!
A
Make sure the handlebar-stem combination is approved by the handlebar
and/or stem manufacturer.
CAUTION!
A
Make sure the handlebar clamping area is free of sharp edges.
Stems - conventional
Handlebars with conventional stems allow limited vertical adjustment. This is
done by moving the stem up or down inside the fork steerer tube (c).
Ask your BERGAMONT dealer to explain you both function and adjustment of
your stem or, still better, let him do that work.
For more information see the chapter “Adjustment of the height of the handle-
bars” in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s manual as well as in the manuals of
the component manufacturers on the enclosed BERGAMONT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Never ride a BERGAMONT bike with a stem that has been drawn out be-
yond the mark for the maximum permissible height (c)! Check all bolted
connections and test your brakes before you set off!
CAUTION!
A
Never try to unscrew the top race of the headset when you only want to
adjust the stem, as you will otherwise alter the bearing play!
Stems - adjustable
There are various solutions for adjusting the tilt of the front part of adjustable
stems:
Some designs use bolts on the sides of the joint (d), others have bolts coming
from above or below, and others again are equipped with additional locking
mechanisms or adjusting bolts.
Ask your BERGAMONT dealer to explain you both function and adjustment of
your stem or, still better, let him do that work.
For more information see the chapter “Adjustment of the height of the handle-
bars” in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s manual as well as in the manuals of
the component manufacturers on the enclosed BERGAMONT info CD.
CAUTION!
A
Keep in mind that readjusting the position of the stem changes the position
of handlebars, brake levers and shifters. Readjust these components, as
described in the chapter “Adjustment of handlebar tilt and the brake levers“.
Stems for threadless systems – Aheadset®
In the case of BERGAMONT bikes with Aheadset® headsets the stem also
serves to adjust the bearing preload. If you change the position of the stem you
have to readjust the bearing play (see the chapter “Headset” in your detailed
BERGAMONT owner’s manual and in the manuals of the component manu-
facturers on the enclosed BERGAMONT info CD). The vertical setting range is
determined by the intermediate rings, also referred to as spacers (e). In the case
of flip-flop stem models (f) the stem can be mounted the other way round to
achieve a different handlebar height.
