As an alternative, the cable can be retightened directly at the brake in the same
way. After readjusting check the functioning and make sure the brake pads do
not drag when releasing the brake lever and spinning the wheel (d). Repeated
readjustment at the brake lever makes the arm on the brake calliper change its
position. This can reduce braking power and result in a complete brake failure in
an extreme case. Risk of accident!
Some models offer further ways of adjusting the brakes directly at the brake
calliper, though this requires a certain amount of skill. Read the manual of the
brake manufacturer on this BERGAMONT info CD carefully before adjust-
ing the brake. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
BERGAMONT dealer.
DANGER!

Repeated readjustment at the brake cable can drastically reduce the maxi-
mum braking performance.

Read in any case the manual of the brake manufacturer on this
BERGAMONT info CD carefully before removing the wheel or doing any
maintenance work. Improper operation can lead to brake failure.
GEARS
DERAILLEUR GEARS
The gears (e+f) of your BERGAMONT bike serve to adjust the gear ratio to the
terrain you are riding on and the desired speed.
A low gear (where in the case of derailleur gears the chain runs on the small
chainring and a large sprocket) allows you to climb steep hills with moderate
pedalling force. You must, however, pedal at a faster pace or higher frequency.
High gears (large chainring, small sprocket) are for riding downhill. Every turn of
the pedals takes you many metres forward at correspondingly high speed.
NOTE!
i
Transport of your BERGAMONT bike with the wheels mounted: Pull the
brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap, when transporting your
BERGAMONT bike with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent air from entering
the system.

When transporting your BERGAMONT bike with the wheels removed,
make sure to mount the transport locks. Pull the brake lever and secure
it with a strong elastic strap, when transporting your BERGAMONT bike with
hydraulic disc brakes (a). This will prevent air from entering the system.

Read in any case the manual of the brake manufacturer on this
BERGAMONT info CD carefully before removing the wheel or doing any
maintenance work. Improper operation can lead to brake failure.
Mechanical disc brakes
Functional check
The more brake pads of mechanical disc brakes wear down, the longer is the
brake lever travel. Regularly check whether you get a positive braking response
before the lever touches the handlebars. Make sure the brake cables are in
sound condition!
DANGER!
G
Damaged cables (b) should be replaced immediately, as they can snap. Risk
of accident!
Wear and maintenance
To a certain extent, wear of the brake pads can be compensated directly at the
brake lever. Unscrew the knurled lock nut on the bolt through which the cable
enters the grip (c) and then unscrew the bolt until the lever has the desired trav-
el. Retighten the lock nut by taking care that the slot of the bolt does not face
upward or forward, as this would permit an unnecessarily high amount of water
or dirt to enter.
