DANGER!
G
Be sure to use your BERGAMONT bike only for its intended purpose, as it
may otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the
top tube (f) so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your
bicycle quickly.
DANGER!
G
Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in
wet conditions. Look well ahead when riding on wet roads and go well be-
low the speed you would ride at in dry conditions.
DANGER!
G
Due to their specific intended use, some BERGAMONT dirt bikes are fitted
with only one brake. Do not ride these BERGAMONT dirt bikes on public
roads, but only on enclosed terrain.
DANGER!
G
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much spring tension in
the mechanism can lead to a very firm connection, from which you cannot
quickly step out! Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
In case you had a crash with your BERGAMONT bike, perform at least
the check described in the chapters “Tests before every ride” and “Tests
after an accident”. Only ride back very carefully on your BERGAMONT bike,
if it passed the tests without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard
and do not ride your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt, have yourself
picked up by car, instead of taking any risk. Back home you need to check your
BERGAMONT bike thoroughly once again. If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer!
NOTE!
I
We recommend that you take out private liability insurance. Make sure that
coverage for bicycle damage is provided by your insurance. Contact your
insurance company or agency.
4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to
a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with
your heel. The hips should remain horizontal (a). Check whether your toes
reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle (exception: full suspen-
sion BERGAMONT bikes). Your BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to help
you, if you are not happy with your seating position.
For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the BERGAMONT bike to
the rider”.
5. If your BERGAMONT bike is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals (b):
Have you ever tried cycling with the respective cycling shoes? First practise
locking one shoe onto a pedal and disengaging it while standing on the other
leg. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer to explain you the pedals and to adjust
them to your needs.
For more information see the chapter “Pedals and shoes” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this BERGAMONT info CD.
6. If you purchased a BERGAMONT bike with suspension (c+d), you should ask
your BERGAMONT dealer to adjust the suspension settings to your needs.
Improperly adjusted suspension elements are liable to malfunction or dam-
age. In any case they will impair the performance of your bike as well as your
safety and joy whilst riding.
For more information see the chapters “Front suspension” and “Rear
suspension” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this
BERGAMONT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, when you
are riding with your hands on handlebars with bar ends (e). The brake levers
are not always within easy reach.
