SUSPENSION ON BERGAMONT BIKES
FRONT SUSPENSION
Lots of BERGAMONT bikes, in particular BERGAMONT mountain bikes, BERGAMONT
cross and BERGAMONT trekking bikes have suspension forks (d). This feature gives you
better control of your BERGAMONT bike when riding cross-country or on rough road
surfaces and ensures more ground contact for the tyre. The (shock) loads on you and your
BERGAMONT bike are noticeably reduced. Suspension forks differ in their types of spring
elements and damping. Suspension forks normally work with air spring elements or with
coil springs.
Damping is usually done by oil. To work perfectly, the fork has to be adjusted to the weight
of the rider, the sitting posture and the intended use (e). Be sure to have this adjustment
carried out by your BERGAMONT dealer at the time of delivery. For more information see
the chapter “Front suspension” in your detailed original BERGAMONT operating instruc-
tions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec” and “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” on the BERGAMONT
web page and your model specific manual. For additional information on your bicycle and
the web links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike
brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
WARNING
The suspension fork should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does not
reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases (f). A spring
rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard or felt as a
“clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete compression of
the suspension fork as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension fork frequently
reaches bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and so will the frame.
A too strong damping of the suspension fork can result in a sluggish rebound
movement with a suspension fork that will not recover when exposed to a quick
series of impacts. Risk of falling!
Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not with tools, in
the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening the fastening
mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers normally mark ad-
justment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder suspen-
sion) and “-” signs.
