You will find it easier to remove the rear wheel, when you pull the rear derailleur
slightly backwards (d). Lift your BERGAMONT bike a little off the ground and
give the wheel a light blow with your hand so that it drops out.
DANGER!
G
Rotors can become hot, so let them cool down before removing a wheel.
DANGER!

If you purchased a BERGAMONT bike with hydraulic disc brakes, never turn
your BERGAMONT bike upside down for repair work, i.e. with the handle-
bars and saddle underneath, otherwise the brake can fail.
CAUTION!
A
Do not pull the (disc) brake lever with a removed wheel and make sure to
mount the safety locks when removing the wheel for a longer period of
time.
NOTE!
I
Observe the manuals of the brake and gear manufacturers on this
BERGAMONT info CD.
CLINCHER AND FOLDING TYRES
Tyre removal
Remove the cap and the fastening nut off the valve and deflate the tyre com-
pletely. Press the tyre from the sides towards the centre of the rim around its
entire circumference. This will ease the removal.
Apply a plastic tyre lever to one bead of the tyre about 5 cm beside the valve
and lever the tyre out of the rim in this area (e). Hold the tyre lever tight in its
position. Slip the second tyre lever between rim and tyre at a distance of about
ten centimetres on the other side of the valve and lever the next portion of the
bead over the edge of the rim (f).
REPAIRING TYRE PUNCTURES
Punctures during cycling are the most common cause for flat tyres. However, as
long as you have the necessary tools and a spare tube or a repair kit, this need
not mean the end of your cycle ride. If your wheels are attached with quick-re-
leases to the frame and the fork, you only need two tyre levers and a pump (a).
NOTE!
I
Before removing a wheel, read the chapters “Remounting the wheel” and
Using quick-releases and thru axles”. If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
REMOVING THE WHEEL
If your bicycle has mechanical rim brakes (cantilever and V-brakes) you first
have to unhook the brake cable from the brake arm (b). To do this, grip the rim
with one hand and press the brake pads and/or arms together. In this position
the usually barrel shaped nipple of the lateral brake cable or the brake hose (of
V-brakes) can easily be disengaged.
If you have disc brakes (hydraulic or mechanic), check the position of the brake
pads through the inspection window (c). In this way you will be able to tell after
the removal whether the brake pads are still in their correct position. Read the
manual of the brake manufacturer on this BERGAMONT info CD.
If you have derailleur gears, you should shift the chain to the smallest sprock-
et before removing the rear wheel. This shifts the rear derailleur right to the
outside where it does not interfere with the removal of the wheel. Open the
quick-release of the wheel, as described in the chapterUsing quick-releases
and thru axles”.
If you cannot remove the wheel after releasing the nuts, this is due to the drop-
out safety tabs. They are metal catches which engage with recesses in the drop-
outs. Just release the quick-release adjusting nut a little and slip the wheel past
the tabs.
