CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE
Dried sweat, dirt and salt from riding during the winter or in sea air can harm your
BERGAMONT bike. You should therefore make it a habit of cleaning all components at
regular intervals (a).
Avoid cleaning your bike with a high-pressure cleaner. The high-pressure jet is likely to
enter bearings by passing through the seals and dilute the lubricants hereby increasing
the friction. This destroys and impairs the functioning of the bearing races in the long term.
High-pressure jets are also likely to remove frame and rim stickers.
A much more gentle way of cleaning your bike is with a low-pressure water jet or a bucket
of water and a sponge or a large brush. Cleaning your bike by hand has another positive
side-effect: you may discover defects in the paint as well as worn or defective components
at an early stage.
After cleaning and drying you should check the chain for wear (b) and apply lubricant
agent (see the chapter “Bicycle chain” in your detailed original BERGAMONT operating
instructions “Trekking and Trekking-Pedelec”, “MTB and MTB-Pedelec” and “Road Bike”
on the BERGAMONT web page, your model specific manual as well as in the manuals of
the component manufacturers). 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.
Wipe dry the sliding surfaces of the suspension fork and the rear shock (c) and apply spe-
cial spray approved by the manufacturer.
Apply a coat of standard hard wax on painted, metal and carbon surfaces (except from
brake surfaces and brake discs). Polish the waxed surfaces after drying to give them a nice
shine.
WARNING
Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear of the brake pads, brake discs and rim
sides (braking surfaces). Otherwise the brake could fail. Never grease or lubri-
cate the clamping areas of a frame made of carbon, e.g. handlebars, stem, seat
post and seat tube. Once greased, carbon components may never again ensure
reliable clamping!
While cleaning, watch out for cracks, scratches, dents as well as deformed or
discoloured material. Have defective components replaced immediately and
touch up paint defects. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your BERGAMONT dealer.
