CAUTION: Do not clean your BERGAMONT bike with a high-pressure cleaner or a
water jet and if you do, be sure to keep it at a distance. Do not aim at the bearings.
SHELTERING AND STORING YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE
If you regularly look after your BERGAMONT bike during the season, you will not need
to take any special measures when storing it for a short time, apart from securing it
against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place.
If you want to store your BERGAMONT bike for a longer period of time, e.g. over the
winter months, please observe the following things: Inflated inner tubes tend to gradually
lose air when the bike is not used for a long time. If your BERGAMONT bike is left
standing on flat tyres for an extended period, this can cause damage to the structure
of the tyres. It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the entire BERGAMONT bike (a)
or to check the tyre pressure regularly (b). Clean your BERGAMONT bike and protect
it against corrosion. Your BERGAMONT dealer has special maintenance products, e.g.
spray wax
(c)
.
Dismount the seat post and let dry away possibly penetrated humidity. Spray a little
finely atomized oil into the metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil in a carbon seat
tube. Shift the gear to the smallest chainring and the smallest sprocket. This relaxes the
cables and the springs.
CAUTION: Do not hang your BERGAMONT bike on carbon rims. Mount instead
at least one aluminium wheel.
CAUTION: There are hardly any waiting times at your BERGAMONT dealer during the
winter months. In addition, many of the BERGAMONT dealers offer an annual check-
up at a special price. Benefit from the idle time and ask your BERGAMONT dealer to
do the scheduled maintenance work!
CAUTION: If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use
original spare parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or tyres
that are not of identical dimension, may render your BERGAMONT bike unsafe. Risk
of accident!
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE
Dried sweat, dirt and salt from riding during the winter or in sea air can harm your
BERGAMONT bike. You should therefore make it a habit of cleaning all components at
regular intervals.
Avoid cleaning your bike with a high-pressure cleaner. The high-pressure jet is likely to
enter bearings by passing through the seals and dilute the lubricants hereby increasing
the friction. This destroys and impairs the functioning of the bearing races in the long
term. High-pressure jets are also likely to remove frame and rim stickers.
A much more gentle way of cleaning your bike is with a low-pressure water jet or a
bucket of water and a sponge or a large brush. Cleaning your bike by hand has another
positive side-effect: you may discover defects in the paint as well as worn or defective
components at an early stage.
After cleaning and drying you should check the chain for wear (f, p. 35) and apply
lubricant agent (see the chapter “Bicycle chain” in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s
manual as well as in the manuals of the component manufacturers). 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.
Wipe dry the sliding surfaces of the suspension fork and the rear shock and apply
special spray approved by the manufacturer.
Apply a coat of standard hard wax on painted, metal and carbon surfaces (except from
brake surfaces and brake discs). Polish the waxed surfaces after drying to give them a
nice shine.
WARNING: Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear of the brake pads, brake
discs and rim sides (braking surfaces). Otherwise the brake could fail. Never grease
or lubricate the clamping areas of a frame made of carbon, e.g. handlebars, stem,
seat post and seat tube. Once greased, carbon components may never again ensure
reliable clamping!
WARNING: While cleaning, watch out for cracks, scratches, dents as well as
deformed or discoloured material. Have defective components replaced immediately
and touch up paint defects. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your BERGAMONT dealer.
CAUTION: Only use petroleum-based solvents for cleaning tough oil or grease
stains from paint and carbon surfaces. Never use degreasing agents containing
acetone, methyl chloride or the like, or solvent-containing, non-neutral or chemical
cleaning agents that could attack the surface!
