In case of inquiries, contact your BERGAMONT dealer or follow the respective
instructions in the manual of the suspension fork manufacturer.

If you have found the desired setting, write down the ideal inflation pressure for
later checks.
Adjusting the damping control
The damping is adjusted by valves inside. When the oil is forced through these
valves this slows down the speed with which the suspension fork is extended or
compressed and prevents the suspension “bouncing” after hitting an obstacle. In this
way it is possible to optimise the bicycle’s reaction to obstacles.
Suspension forks with adjustable rebound damping have an adjusting knob (mostly
red) (d) to slow down or accelerate the rebound movement. If a second (mostly blue)
knob is available, the compression speed can be set and/or the lockout function can
be activated.
Start the adjusting with a completely open damping (rebound movement at “-“). Take
hold of the handlebars with both hands and pull the front brake. Lean with your entire
weight on the fork and remove your weight immediately (e). The fork will extract at the
same speed as you made it compress.
Turn the red adjusting knob in the direction ”+ (f) until you hear a click. Compress the
fork once again with the front wheel brake pulled and then remove the weight abruptly
once again. You will note that the fork extends more slowly.
Repeat the compression and the release by continuously turning the rebound
damping. You will get a feeling for the working of the rebound damping.
In the case of most suspension forks with coil springs a preload can be applied to the
springs within tight limits by turning a knob at the top of the fork crown (a). If that is
not possible and the desired negative suspension travel (“sag”) cannot be set, the coil
springs must be replaced by harder or softer models. The replacement is a job for the
BERGAMONT dealer.
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. Your BERGAMONT dealer will be
pleased to help you.
Always make a test ride over roads with various surfaces after each change to the
settings (b).
Check afterwards the position of the rubber ring/cable tie. Its distance from the
wiper is the maximum suspension travel that you have used (c). If the rubber o-ring/
cable tie has moved a few millimetres only, your rear shock is too firm. Reduce the air
pressure of air sprung forks or the initial spring tension of coil springs. If that brings
no improvement, have the springs replaced.
If the rubber ring/cable tie has shifted over the entire length of the tube or if the fork
audibly bottoms out and hits the top repeatedly when riding on bad roads, the setting
of the springs is too soft. In the case of air-suspension forks the pressure must be
increased. In the case of steel coils, have them replaced by your BERGAMONT
dealer.
DANGER!
G
Suspension forks are designed in a way to absorb shocks. If the fork is too rigid
and jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly into the frame without any
damping. The frame is normally not designed to withstand such undamped stresses. If
your suspension has a lockout mechanism, do not activate the lockout function when
riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth terrain (roads) and on field tracks.
CAUTION!
A
The suspension fork should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does not reach
the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases. A spring rate which
is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard or felt as a “clunk” type noise.
This noise is caused by the sudden complete compression of the suspension fork as it
reaches bottom out. If the suspension fork frequently reaches bottom out, it will fail over
time, and so will the frame.
