There are three different stem systems that allow vertical adjustment of the
handlebars, the conventional (c), the adjustable (d) and the Aheadset®-stem (e).
These systems require special knowledge. In this regard, the descriptions hereafter
may be incomplete. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
BERGAMONT dealer.
DANGER!
G
The stem is one of the load bearing parts of your BERGAMONT bike. Changes to it
can impair your safety. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
BERGAMONT dealer!
DANGER!
G
These routines require a certain amount of manual skill and (special) tools. Ask
your BERGAMONT dealer to explain you both function and adjustment of your
stem or let him do that work.
DANGER!
G
The bolted connections of stem and handlebars have to be tightened to the
prescribed torque values. If you disregard the prescribed values, the handlebars or
stem may come loose or break. 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
Stems come in varying lengths (f) as well as shaft and binder tube diameters. A
stem of inappropriate dimension can become a source of danger: Handlebars,
stems or forks can break, resulting in an accident. When replacing any parts be sure to
only use parts that bear the appropriate mark and, to be on the safe side, original spare
parts from BERGAMONT or SYNCROS. Your BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to
help you.
DANGER!
G
Never ride your bike with the seat post drawn out beyond the limit, maximum,
or stop mark! 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. In the case of frames with seat tubes that
extend beyond the top of the frame’s top tube the seat post should be inserted into the
seat tube at least below the bottom of the top tube and below the top of the rear stays! If
seat post and frame require different minimum insertion depths, you should opt for the
deeper insertion depth.
CAUTION!
A
If the seat post does not move easily inside the seat tube or if it cannot be
tightened sufficiently, ask your BERGAMONT dealer for advice. Do not use brute
force!
CAUTION!
A
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
(a). Never exceed the maximum torque value indicated by the manufacturer!
NOTE!
I
Children and adolescents need to have the saddle height and the position of
saddle and handlebars checked at least every 3 months!
NOTE!
I
If your BERGAMONT bike has a suspension seat post (b), you will find further
information in the chapter “Suspension seat posts” and in the manuals of the
component manufacturers.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEIGHT OF THE HANDLEBARS
The height of the handlebars compared to the saddle and the distance between
saddle and handlebars determine how much your upper body will be inclined
forward. Lowering the handlebars gives you a streamlined position and brings more
weight to bear on the front wheel. However, it also entails an extremely forward
leaning posture which is tiring and less comfortable, because it increases the strain
on your wrists, arms, back, upper body and neck.
