If necessary, correct the position by means of the limit screws. The limit screws on
rear derailleurs are often marked “H” for high gear and “L” for low gear. High gear
means that the chain is running on the smallest sprocket. Turn the screw clockwise
to move the rear derailleur towards the wheel and anticlockwise to move it away from
the wheel (e).
Shift to the largest (inmost) sprocket and check whether the teeth of the sprocket and
the teeth of the guide pulley are all in a perfectly vertical line (f). Turn the limit screw
marked “L” clockwise until the rear derailleur stops moving towards the spokes and
can neither be moved by actuating the shift lever nor by pushing it with your hand.
Turn the cranks carefully.
This adjustment prevents the chain from getting stuck between sprocket and spokes
or the rear derailleur or the derailleur cage from touching the spokes, which could
result in damage to the spokes, the rear derailleur and the frame. In the worst case,
this could result in a fall or accident.
DANGER!
g
If your BERGAMONT bike has tipped over or the rear derailleur received a blow, the
rear derailleur or its mount, also referred to as the derailleur hanger, might be bent.
Risk of material failure and accident. It is advisable to check its range of movement and
readjust the limit screws, if necessary, after such an incident or after mounting a new
rear wheel on your bike.
CAUTION!
A
Do a test ride in a place free of traffic, after adjusting the gears of your bicycle.
CAUTION!
A
Let your BERGAMONT dealer maintain and service your BERGAMONT bike
regularly.
NOTE!
I
For your own safety, bring your BERGAMONT bike to your BERGAMONT dealer for
its first inspection after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours of initial use or four to
six weeks, and at the very latest after three months.
Adjusting the rear derailleur
Increase the tension of the Bowden cable by turning the adjustable cable stop at the
shifter lever (a) or the adjusting bolt through which it runs into the rear derailleur (b).
To do so, shift to the smallest sprocket and turn the bolts anticlockwise in half turns
until the cable is slightly tensioned. After tensioning the Bowden cable check whether
the chain immediately climbs onto the next larger sprocket. To find out you either
have to turn the cranks by hand (c) or ride your BERGAMONT bike and shift through
the gears.
If the chain easily climbs onto the next larger sprocket, check whether it just as easily
shifts to the small sprockets. If it does not, release the respective adjusting bolt a
little. You may need several tries.
CAUTION!
A
Adjusting the front and rear derailleur accurately is a job for an experienced
mechanic. Observe in any case the manual of the gear manufacturer. If you have
any problems with the gears, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
NOTE!
I
Ask a helper to lift the rear wheel or hang the BERGAMONT bike into a work stand.
By turning the cranks and shifting through you can easily check the function.
Adjusting the limit stops
The rear derailleur is equipped with limit screws (d) which limit the movement range of
the derailleur, thus preventing the derailleur and chain from colliding with the spokes
or the chain from dropping off the smallest sprocket. The limit screws are adjusted by
your BERGAMONT dealer. They do not alter their position during normal use.
