DANGER!
G
A too strong damping of the rear frame can result in a sluggish rebound
movement with a suspension strut that will not recover when exposed to a
quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not with tools,
in the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening the
fastening mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers normally
mark adjustment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder
suspension) and “-” signs (a).
NOTE!
I
Rear shock manufacturers normally include manuals with their deliveries.
You find these manuals on the enclosed BERGAMONT info CD. Read these
carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance work on your
rear shock.

BRAKES
Brakes (b+c) are used for adjusting one’s speed to the surrounding terrain and
traffic. In an emergency situation, the brakes must bring your BERGAMONT
bike to a halt as quickly as possible.
In the event of such emergency brakings, the rider’s weight shifts forward
abruptly, thus reducing the load on the rear wheel. The rate of deceleration is
primarily limited by the danger of the rear wheel losing contact with the ground,
resulting in an overturning of the BERGAMONT bike and, secondly, by the grip
of the tyres on the road (d). Such a problem becomes particularly acute when
riding downhill. Therefore, in case of an emergency braking you should try to
shift your weight towards the rear and the ground as far as possible.
Actuate both brakes simultaneously (e) and bear in mind that, due to the weight
transfer, the front brakes can generate a far better braking effect on a surface
with good grip.
The braking conditions on unpaved surfaces and when it is wet or dirty differ,
i.e. overbraking the front wheel can make the wheel slip away.
Make yourself familiar with the operation before you set off for the first time.
Practice braking on different kinds of surfaces in an area free of traffic.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” 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
The assignment of brake lever to brake calliper can vary, e.g. left lever
acts on front brake. Have a look at the BERGAMONT bike card and check
whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side you are used to (right or
left). If it is not, ask your BERGAMONT dealer to switch the brake levers before
you set off for the first time.
DANGER!
G
Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Practice emergency stops
in a place clear of traffic until you are comfortable controlling your
BERGAMONT bike. This can save you from having accidents in road traffic.
DANGER!
G
Wet weather reduces the braking effect and the road grip of the tyres. Be
aware of longer stopping distances when riding in the rain, reduce your
speed and actuate the brakes carefully.
DANGER!
G
Ensure that the braking surfaces and brake pads are absolutely free of wax,
grease and oil (f). Risk of accident!
CAUTION!
A
When replacing any parts, be sure to only use parts that bear the ap-
propriate mark and, to be on the safe side, original spare parts. Your
BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to help you.
