BRAKES
Brakes (c) 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 rider’s 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
(d), 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 (e) 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
problems:
Too long braking or brake dragging can result in an overheating of the rim
brakes (f). 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 pro-
cess.
Lift your BERGAMONT bike for checking by the saddle (a) and try to move the
rear wheel to both sides. If you need help, ask a helper to hold the front part of
the frame tight.
To check whether the rear shock has play, place down the rear wheel gently
and lift it again subsequently. Listen for rattling noises. If there is play, have it
repaired by your BERGAMONT dealer immediately.
DANGER!
G
Suspension elements are of sophisticated design. The maintenance routines
and above all the disassembly of the suspension elements are jobs best left
to your BERGAMONT dealer or the rear shock service centre.
CAUTION!
A
Rear shocks are constantly being sprayed with water and dirt from the rear
wheel. Clean them with lots of water and a rag after every ride (b).
NOTE!
I
Be sure to have your rear shock checked by a service centre of the rear
shock manufacturer once a year at least.

NOTE!
I
Some BERGAMONT bikes have an adjustable steering head angle, an
adjustable chain stay length and an adjustable bottom bracket height.
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.
