BRAKES
Brakes (a) are used for adjusting one’s speed to the surrounding terrain and traffic.
In an emergency situation, the brakes must bring your BERGAMONT bike to a halt as
quickly as possible.
In the event of such emergency brakings, the riders weight shifts forward abruptly,
thus reducing the load on the rear wheel. The rate of deceleration is primarily limited
by the danger of the rear wheel losing contact with the ground (b), resulting in an
overturning of the BERGAMONT bike and, secondly, by the grip of the tyres on the
road. Such a problem becomes particularly acute when riding downhill. Therefore,
in case of an emergency braking you should try to shift your weight towards the rear
and the ground as far as possible.
Actuate both brakes simultaneously (c) and bear in mind that, due to the weight
transfer, the front brakes can generate a far better braking effect on a surface with
good grip.
The braking conditions on unpaved surfaces and when it is wet or dirty differ, i.e.
overbraking the front wheel can make the wheel slip away.
Make yourself familiar with the operation before you set off for the first time. Practise
braking on different kinds of surfaces in an area free of traffic.
Wet weather reduces the braking power. Actuate the brakes carefully when riding
on wet or slippery ground, as the tyres can easily slip away. Therefore, reduce your
speed when riding in such conditions.
There are various types of brake systems that may be subject to the following prob-
lems:
Too long braking or brake dragging can result in an overheating of the rim brakes (d). This
can damage the inner tube or make the tyre slip on the rim causing a sudden loss of air
which could lead to a serious accident in the process.
With roller, drum, back-pedal (e) and disc brakes prolonged braking or permanent
dragging of brake pads can also lead to an overheating of the brake system. This can
result in a reduction of the braking power or brake failure. Risk of accident!
