DANGER!
G
Always wear straight-cut trousers or use trouser clips (e) or the like to make sure
your trousers do not get caught in the chain or the chainrings. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Shifting gears under load, i.e. while pedalling hard, can make the chain slip. At the
front derailleur the chain may even slip off the chainrings and result in an accident!
At least the service life of the chain will be shortened considerably.
DANGER!
G
If there is play between bearing shaft and cranks, they can sustain damage. Risk of
breakage!
CAUTION!
A
Avoid gears which involve an extremely oblique run of the chain, as this will
increase wear!
CAUTION!
A
It is crucial when switching gears to continue pedalling smoothly and without too
much force. Do not shift under load, and in particular not at the front derailleur, as
this will shorten the service life of your chain considerably. Furthermore, this can lead to
a chain-suck, i.e. the chain can get jammed between chainstay and chainrings.
Checking and readjusting
The derailleur gears of your bike were carefully adjusted by your BERGAMONT dealer
before delivery. However, Bowden cables may stretch a little on the first kilometres,
making gear shifting imprecise and the chain rattle.
Adjusting the front and rear derailleur (f) accurately is a job for an experienced
mechanic. If you want to try to do the adjustment on your own, observe in addition
the manual of the gear manufacturer. If you have any problems with the gears,
contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
Depending on the gear system, gear shifting is initiated by actuating a shift lever,
a brake and shift lever unit or by a short turn of the wrist with twist grips. Continue
pedalling during gear shifting (a), however, at reduced pedalling force.
Find below the principles of the shift lever types and their operation. It is, however,
also possible that your new BERGAMONT bike has a gear system that is not listed
below.
With shift levers pressing the large shifter (b) (thumb shifter) normally moves the chain
towards the larger chainrings/sprockets.
That means that any gear shift with the right thumb produces a lower gear. This is
an indexed shifting system with the option of shifting several gears with one action.
Actuating the large thumb shifter on the left produces a higher gear.
Pulling the small lever (c) located in front of the handlebars from the rider’s viewpoint
and actuated with the index finger (index finger lever) shifts the chain towards the
smaller chainwheels/sprockets, i.e. on the right side to the higher gears and on the
left side to the lower gears.
NOTE!
I
Read in any case carefully the operating instructions of the gear manufacturer.
Make yourself familiar with your new gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary. If
you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
The principle of twist grips (d) is slightly different. Turning the right-hand grip towards
you makes for a lower gear ratio, while the same movement on the left produces a
higher gear – and vice versa. The shifting direction may vary in this case, as well.
