ADJUSTING THE BERGAMONT BIKE TO THE RIDER
Your body height and proportions are decisive for the frame size of your BERGAMONT
bike. 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 (b).
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 levers.
As all works require know-how, experience, suitable tools (e) and skills, you should
restrict yourself to adjusting your seating position. Contact your BERGAMONT dealer,
if you are not happy with your seating position or if you want something changed.
They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your BERGAMONT bike at the
workshop, e.g. for the first inspection.
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 (f).
DANGER!
g
If you have a very small frame, there may be the danger of your foot colliding with
the front wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly adjusted.
DANGER!
G
All tasks described in the following require the know-how of a mechanic and
appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted connections always
with greatest attention. Increase the torque values bit by bit and check the fit of the
component in between. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque
values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque
settings for your BERGAMONT bike”, directly on the components and/or in the manuals
of the component manufacturers.
DANGER!
G
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.
DANGER!
G
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!
A
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!
NOTE!
I
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.
DANGER!
g
After wheel mounting test the brakes in stationary. You should reach the pressure
point of the brake before the brake lever reaches the handlebars. In the case of
hydraulic brakes pump them, if necessary, until you reach a precise pressure point.
THRU AXLES ON THE BERGAMONT BIKE
There are a wide range of thru-axle systems available now. Some systems are tightened
with a quick release system and some may require special tools for assembly/disas-
sembly.
Please consult your BERGAMONT dealer in how to operate before your first ride.
