5. Let your BERGAMONT bike bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is any
rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connections, if
necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. In case you have a BERGAMONT bike with suspension, press down on your
BERGAMONT bike and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as usual.
For more information see the chapters “Front suspension”, “Rear suspension” and
“Suspension seat posts” in this BERGAMONT general manual as well as in your
detailed BERGAMONT owner’s manual.
7. If your bike has a kick-stand, make sure it is fully raised (f) before you set off. Risk of
falling!
8. Do not forget to take a high quality D- or chain lock with you on your ride. The only
way to effectively protect your BERGAMONT bike against theft is to lock it to an
immovable object.
9. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your BERGAMONT bike is equipped
according to the applicable regulations of your country. Riding without lights and
reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous, because you will be seen too
late or not at all by other road users.
A set of lights that corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads. Turn on the
lights as soon as dusk sets in. For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements
for riding on public roads” in your detailed BERGAMONT owners manual.
WARNING: Do not use your BERGAMONT bike, if it fails at one of these points!
A defective BERGAMONT bike can lead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if
you have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
WARNING: Improperly closed fastenings, e.g. quick-releases, can cause parts
of your BERGAMONT bike to come loose and result in serious accidents!
WARNING: Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases,
when you are riding with your hands on aero bars, on bar ends or on multi-position
handlebars. The brake levers are not always within easy reach.
TESTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Your BERGAMONT bike has undergone numerous tests during production and a
final check has been carried out by your BERGAMONT dealer. Nevertheless, be sure
to check the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to the
transport of your BERGAMONT bike or to changes a third person may have performed
on your BERGAMONT bike before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers (a),
thru axles or nuts of the front and rear wheel, the seat
post and other components properly closed? For more information see the chapter
“Using quick-releases and thru axles” in this BERGAMONT general manual as well as
in your detailed BERGAMONT owners manual.
2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure (b)? The
minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side (c). For
more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” in your detailed BERGAMONT
owner’s manual.
3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. If you have disc brakes, watch
the gap between frame and rim or tyre and, if you have rim brakes, between brake
pad and rim (d). Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with ruptured sides or
broken spokes.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” in your detailed
BERGAMONT owner’s manual.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers towards the handlebars
(e). The brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with their entire surface
without touching the tyre during braking, in open condition or in between. Make
sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handlebars and check the
hydraulic brake cables for oil or brake fluid leaks! Check the thickness of the brake
pads, as well.
With disc brakes you should have a stable pressure point at once. If you have to
actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking response, have the
BERGAMONT bike checked by your BERGAMONT dealer immediately. For more
information see the chapter “Brakes” in this general manual. For additional infor-
mation on your bicycle and the web links for the component manufacturers, please
visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick Start
Manual.
