DANGER!
G
Brake cables which are damaged, e.g. frayed, must be replaced immediately, as
they can otherwise fail in a critical moment, possibly causing a crash!
DANGER!
G
If during braking the travel of the brake lever increases, unusual noises occur and/
or the braking effect is more or less effective than usual, do not ride your bicycle. In
such a case contact your BERGAMONT dealer immediately.
DANGER!
G
Check regularly whether the torque support (d) is firmly attached to the frame or
fork. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque values!
Checking and readjusting back-pedal brakes
The chain tension (e) of bicycles with back-pedal brakes has to be checked and
retensioned, if necessary, after approx. 1,000 km or 50 hours of use. For more details
read the chapter “Bicycle chain.
DANGER!
G
Keep in mind that the back-pedal brake is ineffective with a fallen-off chain (f). Risk
of falling!
DANGER!
G
Repeated readjustment at the brake cable can drastically reduce the maximum
braking performance.
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.
ROLLER, DRUM AND BACK-PEDAL BRAKES
These types of brakes have an enclosed design; brake pads and surfaces inside the
hub body are largely protected against the influences of the weather. The braking
force is transmitted through cables from the levers to the brakes. As rear brakes they
are mostly connected to an internal gear hub (a) and sometimes they are operated by
back pedalling.
With back-pedal brakes maximum braking force is achieved by stepping on one of
the pedals in its rearmost position with the cranks horizontal (b). With internal gear
hubs from SRAM braking power is increased when having shifted to a lower gear.
The risk of overheating is particularly high with these brake systems. Brake
overheating occurs on prolonged (steep) downhill rides with permanent brake
dragging. Brake fading is a result thereof which, in extreme cases, can lead to brake
failure.
Therefore, if you notice that the braking effect deteriorates, stop and let the brake
system cool down. Sometimes, it will be enough to operate the front and rear brake in
an alternating pattern. If that will not suffice, stop for a couple of minutes before you
set off again (c).
