CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Although the chain is one of the wearing components of your BERGAMONT bike,
there are still ways for you to prolong its life. Make sure the chain is lubricated
regularly, especially after riding in the rain. Try to only use gears which run the chain
in the straightest line between the sprockets and chainrings and get into the habit of
high cadence pedalling.
Chains on bicycles with derailleur gears are worn out after approx. 1,000 to 3,500 km
or 50 to 125 hours of use. Heavily stretched chains impair the operation of derailleur
gears. Cycling with a worn-out chain also accelerates the wear of the sprockets and
chainrings. Replacing these components is relatively expensive compared with the
costs of a new chain. It is therefore advisable to check the condition of the chain at
regular intervals.
Your BERGAMONT dealer has accurate measuring instruments to check the chain
wear (c). Replacing the chain should ideally be left to an expert, as this requires
special tools. In addition, you need to select a chain matching your gear system (d+e).
DANGER!
G
An improperly joined or heavily worn chain can break and cause an accident.
NOTE!
I
When replacing your chain, only use appropriate and suitable original spare parts
(f). Your BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to help you.

For easy setting of the tension download the Gates Carbon Drive iPhone®-App
(available free of charge in the iTunes® App Store), use the Carbon Drive Krikit
Gauge or the Eco Tension Tester (available in Europe at present).
BICYCLE CHAIN
Regular and correct lubrication of your bicycle chain ensures enjoyable riding and
prolongs its service life. It is not the quantity but the distribution and regular appli-
cation of lubricant that counts. Clean the dirt and oil off your chain with a slightly oily
rag from time to time (a). Special degreasers are not necessary; they even have a
damaging effect.
Having cleaned the chain as thoroughly as possible, apply chain oil, wax or grease
to the chain links (b). To lubricate the chain, drip the lubricant onto the rollers of the
lower run of the chain while you turn the crank. Once this is done, turn the cranks a
few more times; then let your BERGAMONT bike rest for a few minutes so that the
lubricant can disperse. Finally wipe off excess lubricant with a rag so that it does not
spatter around during riding or can collect road dirt.
DANGER!
G
Make sure the braking surfaces of the rims, the rotors and the brake pads remain
clear of lubricants, otherwise the brake can fail!
NOTE!
I
For the sake of the environment, use biodegradable lubricants only. Bear in mind
that some of the lubricant can end up on the ground, especially in wet conditions.
