DANGER!
G
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.
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” and the manuals of the component manufacturers.
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 (c).
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 (d) 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 (e),
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 (f). 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 (a, p. 34).
4. Is the battery tight in its holder and the lock properly locked up? Never set off with
a loose and unlocked battery.
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer.
5. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure? Note that
a pedelec weighs more and that your usual tyre pressure may be insufficient. A
higher pressure gives a better riding stability and reduces the risk of a puncture.
The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres”.
DANGER!
H
Do not use your BERGAMONT pedelec, if it fails at one of these points! A defective
BERGAMONT pedelec can lead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
USING QUICK‑RELEASES
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.
Practise 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.
