NOTE!
I
Carbon fibre components are particularly vulnerable to damage caused by
excessive clamping force. Carbon assembly paste creates extra friction between
two surfaces, allowing the necessary torque value to be reduced by up to 30 % (a). This
is especially useful in the clamping areas of handlebars and stem, steerer tube and
stem as well as seat post, i.e. three areas where too much clamping force can damage
either component, causing component failure or voiding the warranty. By reducing the
clamping force, carbon assembly paste relieves stress on sensitive carbon surfaces,
preventing damage to fibres or the cracking of the carbon substructure.
THE HEADSET ON THE BERGAMONT BIKE
The headset (e) connects the fork to the frame, but allows it to move freely. It must
turn with virtually no resistance, if the BERGAMONT bike is to run straight, stabilising
itself as it travels. Shocks caused by uneven road surfaces expose the headset to
considerable levels of stress. In this way it can become loose and go out of correct
adjustment.
DANGER!
G
Riding the bicycle with a loose headset increases the stress on fork and bearings.
This can lead to damage to the fork. Risk of falling!
Checking and readjusting
Check the headset for play by placing your fingers around the upper head tube race.
Bring your weight to bear on the saddle, pull the front brakes with your other hand
and push the BERGAMONT bike firmly back and forth with the wheel remaining on
the ground (f). If the bearing has play, you will feel the upper head tube race moving in
jerks relative to the lower head tube race - visible as a small gap in between the head
tube races.
DANGER!
G
Do not combine carbon handlebars with bar ends, unless they have been specif-
ically approved. Do not shorten carbon handlebars or clamp the brake levers and
shifters more in the middle than indicated or needed. Risk of breakage!
DANGER!
G
Make sure all carbon clamping areas are absolutely free of grease and other lubri-
cants! Grease will penetrate the surface of the carbon material, thereby reducing
the coefficient of friction. This will no longer provide reliable clamping within the
prescribed torque values. Once greased, carbon components may never again ensure
reliable clamping! Use a special carbon assembly paste (a) instead as offered by various
manufacturers.
CAUTION!
A
Most clamps of bike carrier systems are potential sources of damage to large-di-
ameter frame tubes! As a result thereof carbon frames can fail during use without
previous warning. However, there are special-purpose models which are suitable,
available in the car accessory trade. Inform yourself there or ask your BERGAMONT
dealer for advice.
CAUTION!
A
Do not clamp a carbon frame or seat post in the holding jaws of a workstand (b)!
The components may sustain damage. Mount a sturdy (aluminium) seat post
instead and use it to clamp the frame, or choose a work stand that holds the frame at
three points inside the frame triangle or which clamps the fork and bottom bracket shell.
NOTE!
I
Protect the exposed areas of your carbon frame (e.g. the head tube and the
underside of the down tube) against rubbing cables or stone chips with special
pads (c+d) your BERGAMONT dealer keeps for sale.
