ADJUSTING THE BERGAMONT BIKE TO THE RIDER
By choosing a specific type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you will be
riding in (c+d). However, some components of your BERGAMONT bike are especially
designed so that you can adjust them to your body proportions up to a certain degree.
This includes the seat post, the handlebars and the stem as well as the brake grips or
brake levers/shifters.
Contact your BERGAMONT dealer, if you are not happy with the seating position of
your new BERGAMONT bike or if you want something changed. You may also ask
them during the strongly recommended first inspection after 100 to 300 km or 5 to 15
hours of initial use. They will carry out your wishes so that you can be sure your new
BERGAMONT bike is safe in terms of roadworthiness, ergonomics and operational
safety when you take it home.
WARNING: As all works require know-how, experience, suitable tools and
skills, you should restrict yourself to adjusting your seating position. Contact your
BERGAMONT dealer for all further settings and modifications. If you want to try it
nevertheless, read the instructions in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s manual.
CAUTION: After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short
functional check as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” and do a test
ride on your BERGAMONT bike in an area free of traffic.
WARNING: Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch
and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your bike
quickly (e).
WARNING: Never ride your bike with the seat post drawn out beyond the limit,
maximum, or stop mark (f)! The seat post might break or cause severe damage to
the frame. Please make sure the seat post clamp is correctly orientated with the seat
post frame clamping slot in the seat tube of the frame.
CAUTION: The saddle should be set to a height from which you can just reach
the pedal in its lowest position with your heel. The hips should remain horizontal.
Check whether your toes reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle.
Your BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your
seating position. Risk of accident!
CAUTION: To be on the safe side you can replace the quick-releases by special locks.
They can only be opened and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen key. If you
are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
THRU AXLES ON THE BERGAMONT BIKE
Thru axles (a+b) are mounted when BERGAMONT bikes have to withstand high stress.
On forks and in particular together with disc brakes they make for extreme stiffness.
Safe mounting of wheels with thru axles
There is a wide range of thru-axle systems available now. Some systems are tightened
with quick-releases. Other systems may require special tools for assembly or disas-
sembly.
Read therefore in any case the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru axles” in your
detailed owner’s manual and in the manuals of the suspension fork, thru axle and wheel
manufacturers before removing the wheel or doing any maintenance work and mounting
a fork/wheel combination with thru-axle system. There the systems are described in
detail. For additional information 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.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
WARNING: Improperly mounted wheels may throw you off your bike or result
in serious accidents! Ask your BERGAMONT dealer to show you how to handle the
thru-axle type you have.
CAUTION: Check the fixing after the first one to two hours of use and
subsequently every 20 hours of use.
CAUTION: To mount the axle only use the tools recommended by the
manufacturer. Use a torque wrench whenever possible. Tighten carefully by
approaching the prescribed maximum torque value in small steps (0.5 Nm
increments) and check in between the proper fit of the component. Never exceed the
maximum torque value indicated by the manufacturer! A too tight fixing of the axle
can damage the axle or the fork leg.
