NOTE!
I
Read in any case the manual of the brake manufacturer carefully before removing
the wheel or doing any maintenance work. Improper operation can lead to brake
failure.
Mechanical disc brakes
Functional check
The more brake pads of mechanical disc brakes wear down, the longer is the brake
lever travel. Regularly check whether you get a positive braking response before the
lever touches the handlebars (c). Make sure the brake cables are in sound condition!
DANGER!
G
Damaged cables (d) should be replaced immediately, as they can snap. Risk of
accident!
Wear and maintenance
To a certain extent, wear of the brake pads can be compensated directly at the brake
lever. Unscrew the knurled lock nut on the bolt through which the cable enters the
grip (e) and then unscrew the bolt until the lever has the desired travel. Retighten the
lock nut by taking care that the slot of the bolt does not face upward or forward, as
this would permit an unnecessarily high amount of water or dirt to enter.
After readjusting check the functioning and make sure the brake pads do not drag
when releasing the brake lever and spinning the wheel.
Repeated readjustment at the brake lever makes the arm on the brake calliper change
its position. This can reduce braking power and result in a complete brake failure in
an extreme case. Risk of accident!
Some models offer further ways of adjusting the brakes directly at the brake calliper
(f), though this requires a certain amount of skill. Read the instructions of the brake
manufacturer carefully before adjusting the brake. If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Functional check
Regularly check the lines and connections for leaks while pulling on the lever
(a).
Contact your BERGAMONT dealer immediately in the event of a brake liquid leakage.
A leak in the brake lines can render the brake ineffective. Risk of accident!
Wear and maintenance
Hydraulic disc brakes have a mechanism which automatically compensate for the
worn down brake pads. The brake lever travel does not change.
Check the pads (b) for wear at regular intervals by following the manuals of the
respective manufacturer.
DANGER!
G
Loose connections and leaky brake lines drastically impair braking power. If you
find leaks in the brake system or buckled lines, contact your BERGAMONT dealer
immediately!
DANGER!
g
If your brake system works with DOT brake fluid, the latter needs to be replaced
regularly according to the intervals prescribed by the manufacturer.
DANGER!
G
Do not transport your BERGAMONT bike with saddle and handlebars upside down
– risk of brake failure. Never turn it upside down for repair works.
CAUTION!
A
Do not open the brake lines. Brake fluid that can be very unhealthy and damaging
to the paint could leak out and render the brake ineffective.
CAUTION!
a
A heavily clogged brake can lead to squeaking noises during braking.
NOTE!
i
Only transport your BERGAMONT bike with wheels mounted or if dismounted with
safety locks. Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap, when
transporting your BERGAMONT bike with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent air
from entering the system.
