NOTE!
I
In case of inquiries, contact your BERGAMONT dealer or follow the respective
instructions in the manual of the suspension fork manufacturer.
Lockout
When taking long uphill rides involving hard pedalling out of the saddle, a suspension
fork is typically bobbing. It is advisable to lock the damping, if the suspension fork
has a lockout mechanism (b). For downhill rides on uneven ground the lockout
mechanism must be open stringently (c).
CAUTION!
A
Do not actuate the lockout function when riding over field tracks, but only when
riding over smooth terrain (such as roads or field tracks) (d).
Maintenance
Suspension forks are components of sophisticated design that require regular
maintenance and care. This has led almost all suspension fork manufacturers to
establish service centres where you can have your forks thoroughly checked and
overhauled at regular intervals according to use, e.g. once a year.
The following routines are essential for maintenance:
1. Make sure the sliding surfaces of the stanchion tubes and the wiper rings are
absolutely clean.
2. Clean the suspension fork, if it is soiled, directly after the ride with plenty of water
and a soft sponge (e).
3. After washing your bike, spray the stanchion tubes of the suspension fork with
a little grease spray (f) approved by the manufacturer or apply a very thin film of
hydraulic oil. Compress the fork several times and wipe off excess lubricant with a
clean rag before you set off for your next ride.
The typical setting of the rebound damping is an extension of the suspension compo-
nents at reduced speed, however not at a sluggish pace. A rebound movement at
reduced speed ending up in a sluggish movement is definitely a too high damping.
Ride over an obstacle (e.g. down a kerb) subsequently and turn the rebound damping
in small steps towards the “+”-setting. You have found the proper rebound setting
when the suspension fork does not cycle more than once. Always check a modified
adjustment during a test ride on the surface of a road typically used by you.
If you do not trust the setting of the damping or if problems occur with it, contact your
BERGAMONT dealer or follow the corresponding instructions in the manual of the
suspension fork manufacturer.
DANGER!
G
A too strong damping (rebound damping) of the fork can result in the fact that the
fork no longer extends when riding over a quick series of obstacles. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Do not turn any screws by using tools in the vague hope of adjusting them
somehow. You could be loosening the fastening mechanism, thus provoking
an accident. Normally, the adjustment devices are operated with the fingers and are
marked by all manufacturers with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder
suspension) and “-“ signs.
DANGER!
G
When mounting a new front tyre, make sure there is enough clearance between
tyre and fork crown as the fork compresses entirely. If necessary, deflate the
suspension fork completely and press the handlebars forcefully downward to check
this. The front wheel can get jammed. Risk of falling!
CAUTION!
A
Do not ride your bicycle, if the suspension fork bottoms out. This could damage
the suspension fork itself as well as the frame. The spring rate should always be
adjusted to the weight of the rider and the luggage (a) as well as to the riding conditions.
