This adjustment prevents the chain from getting stuck between sprocket and
spokes or the rear derailleur or the derailleur cage from touching the spokes,
which could result in damage to the spokes, the rear derailleur and the frame. In
the worst case, this could result in a fall or accident.
DANGER!
g
If your BERGAMONT bike has tipped over or the rear derailleur received a
blow, the rear derailleur or its mount, also referred to as the derailleur hang-
er, might be bent. Risk of material failure and accident. It is advisable to check
its range of movement and readjust the limit screws, if necessary, after such an
incident or after mounting a new rear wheel on your bike.
CAUTION!
A
Do a test ride in a place free of traffic, after adjusting the gears of your
bicycle.
CAUTION!
A
Let your BERGAMONT dealer maintain and service your BERGAMONT bike
regularly.
Adjusting the front derailleur
The range within which the front derailleur (d) keeps the chain on the chainring
without itself touching the chain is very small. If the chain tends to jump off the
chainring, you will need to reduce the movement range in the same way as with
the rear derailleur, i.e. by turning the limit screws marked “H” and “L” (e). The
limit screws are adjusted by your BERGAMONT dealer. They do not alter their
position during normal use.
As with the rear derailleur, the cable of the front derailleur is subject to length-
ening which leads to a reduced precision in gear changing. If necessary, shift to
the small chainring and increase the tension of the Bowden cable by turning the
adjusting bolt through which it passes at the entry to the gear shifter (f).
DANGER!
G
Always check after an accident whether the guide plates of the front derail-
leur are still parallel to the chainrings. Make sure they do not touch the large
chainring which would block the drive. Risk of accident!
If the chain easily climbs onto the next larger sprocket, check whether it just as
easily shifts to the small sprockets. If it does not, release the respective adjusting
bolt a little. You may need several tries.
CAUTION!
A
Adjusting the front and rear derailleur accurately is a job for an experienced
mechanic. Observe in any case the manual of the gear manufacturer on this
BERGAMONT info CD. If you have any problems with the gears, contact your
BERGAMONT dealer.
NOTE!
I
Ask a helper to lift the rear wheel or hang the BERGAMONT bike into a
work stand. By turning the cranks and shifting through you can easily check
the function.
Adjusting the limit stops
The rear derailleur is equipped with limit screws (a) which limit the movement
range of the derailleur, thus preventing the derailleur and chain from colliding
with the spokes or the chain from dropping off the smallest sprocket. The limit
screws are adjusted by your BERGAMONT dealer. They do not alter their posi-
tion during normal use.
If necessary, correct the position by means of the limit screws. The limit screws
on rear derailleurs are often marked “H” for high gear and “L” for low gear. High
gear means that the chain is running on the smallest sprocket. Turn the screw
clockwise to move the rear derailleur towards the wheel and anticlockwise to
move it away from the wheel.
Shift to the largest (inmost) sprocket (b) and check whether the teeth of the
sprocket and the teeth of the guide pulley are all in a perfectly vertical line (c).
Turn the limit screw marked “L” clockwise until the rear derailleur stops moving
towards the spokes and can neither be moved by actuating the shift lever nor
by pushing it with your hand. Turn the cranks carefully.
