Safe fastening of a component with a quick-release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open” (b) on the lever. Make
sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the BERGAMONT bike to the rider” and
“Wheels and tyres” in this general manual as well as in your detailed owner’s manual.
For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manufac-
turers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick
Start Manual. There you will also find information on the RWS system from DT-Swiss.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read ”Close” on
the outside of the lever. When you start closing the lever you should feel virtually no
resistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle to the frame/fork.
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase significantly
and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever. Use the ball of
your thumb while your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the fork (c) or a rear
stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the way.
In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle, i.e. it
should not stand out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork so that it cannot
be opened accidentally. Make sure, however, that the lever is easy to handle for actual
quick use.
To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of the hand
lever and try to turn it while it is closed. If you can turn the lever around, open it and
increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the opposite side clockwise by half a
turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it again for tightness.
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres, so that the wheel no longer touches the ground
and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will remain firmly fixed in
the drop-outs of the frame or fork without producing any rattling.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check whether the
saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame.
WARNING: Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on
the side opposite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel
accidentally the wrong way round. In the case of BERGAMONT bikes with disc brakes
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to mount both quick-
releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This helps you not to come into
contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you from having your fingers burnt. If you
are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
WARNING: Never ride your BERGAMONT bike without having checked first,
whether the wheels are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-
release the wheel can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
CAUTION: If your BERGAMONT bike is equipped with quick-releases, be sure
to lock the frame to an immovable object together with the wheels when you leave it
outside. Anti-theft protection!
WARNING: During use your BERGAMONT bike is undergoing stress resulting
from the surface of the road and from the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic
loads, the different parts of your bike react with wear and fatigue. Please check
your BERGAMONT bike regularly, i.e. according to the BERGAMONT service and
maintenance schedule, for wear marks, scratches, deformations, colour changes
and any indication of cracking. Components which have reached the end of their
service life may break without previous warning. Let your BERGAMONT dealer
maintain and service your BERGAMONT bike regularly. In cases of doubt it is
always best to replace components.
USING QUICK-RELEASES AND THRU AXLES
QUICK-RELEASES ON THE BERGAMONT BIKE
Most BERGAMONT bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjustments,
assembly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases are tight before
you set off on your BERGAMONT bike. Quick-releases should be handled with greatest
care, as they affect your safety directly.
Practice the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative elements (a):
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping force via a cam
when you close it.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the preload on the
threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set.
WARNING: Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after
a long down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool down
before opening the quick-release.
