Chassis adjustment
Normally, you use your bike with the maximum suspension travel that your full
suspension rear frame allows. This ensures maximum riding fun and best control
of your BERGAMONT bike.
Some BERGAMONT bikes offer the possibility to set the chassis according to
the terrain you are riding on (e+f).
NOTE!
I
Some BERGAMONT bikes have an adjustable steering head angle (e), an
adjustable chain stay length and an adjustable bottom bracket height (f).
For more information on this issue, read the technical specifications on this
BERGAMONT info CD or on the internet www.bergamont.com and ask your
BERGAMONT dealer for the setting which is suitable for you.
CAUTION!
A
Do not reduce the suspension travel when riding over rough terrain or
downhill!
NOTE!
I
For more information on chassis adjustment, see the specific user manual of
your BERGAMONT bike on this BERGAMONT info CD.
Setting the damping
The damping is adjusted by valves inside. When the oil is forced through these
valves this slows down the speed with which the rear shock is extended or
compressed and prevents the suspension “bouncing” after hitting an obstacle.
In this way it is possible to optimise the bicycle’s reaction to obstacles.
Always make a test ride over different terrains with various surfaces after each
change to the setting. Check afterwards the position of the rubber ring/cable
tie. Its distance from the wiper is the maximum rear shock travel that you have
used.
If the rubber o-ring/cable tie has moved a few millimetres only, the setting of the
rear shock is too hard (a). Reduce the pressure or in the case of rear shocks with
coil springs the spring preload. If that brings no improvement, have the springs
replaced.
If the rubber ring/cable tie has shifted over the entire length of the tube or if the
rear shock audibly bottoms out and hits the top repeatedly when riding in the
terrain or on poor roads, the setting of the springs is too soft (b). In the case of
air-spring rear shocks the pressure must be increased. In the case of steel rear
shocks, have the spring replaced by your BERGAMONT dealer.
DANGER!
G
Rear frames of full suspension frames are designed to absorb shocks. If the
rear shock is too rigid and blocked, the shocks are introduced undamped
into the frame, which in these areas is normally not designed to withstand such
shocks. If your rear shock has a lockout mechanism, do not activate the lock-
out function when riding in rough terrain (d), but only when riding over smooth
terrain (c) (roads, field tracks).
CAUTION!
A
The rear shock must be designed or set in a way that it bottoms out only
in extreme cases. 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 strut as it reaches bottom out.
If the rear shock frequently reaches bottom out, it will fail over time, and so will
the frame.
NOTE!
I
In case of inquiries, contact your BERGAMONT dealer or follow the re-
spective instructions in the manual of the rear shock manufacturer on this
BERGAMONT info CD.
