6. Finally, take a good look at the whole BERGAMONT bike to detect any defor-
mations, colour changes or cracks.
DANGER!
g
Ride back very carefully by taking the shortest route possible, even if your
BERGAMONT bike went through this check without any problems. Do not
accelerate or brake hard and do not ride your bike out of the saddle. If you are in
doubt about the performance of your BERGAMONT bike, have yourself picked
up by car instead of taking any risk.
DANGER!
g
Back home you need to check your BERGAMONT bike thoroughly. Dam-
aged parts must be repaired or replaced. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer for
advice. For more information on carbon components see the chapter “Carbon
– a particular material” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this
BERGAMONT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Deformed components, especially components made of aluminium, can
break without previous warning. They must not be repaired, i.e. straight-
ened, as this will not reduce the imminent risk of breakage. This applies in
particular to the fork, the handlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and
the pedals. When in doubt, it is always the better choice for your safety to have
these parts replaced. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer for advice.
DANGER!
G
If your BERGAMONT bike is assembled with carbon components, it is
imperative that you have it checked by your BERGAMONT dealer after an
accident or similar incident. Carbon is extremely strong and durable with very
low weight, making it perfect for the production of high-performance parts.
However, one of the inherent properties of carbon is that possible overstress
may compromise the inner carbon fibre structure without showing any visible
deformation, as is the case with steel or aluminium. A damaged component can
fail without previous warning. Risk of falling!
CAUTION!
A
Make it a rule to check the functioning and in particular the limit stop of the
rear derailleur after a fall or if your BERGAMONT bike has toppled over.
Realign the components, if necessary, and gently tighten the bolts to ensure
a reliable clamping of the components (a). The maximum torque values are
printed directly on the components or specified in the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this BERGAMONT info CD.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the BERGAMONT bike to
the rider” and “The headset on the BERGAMONT bike” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this BERGAMONT info CD.
3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainwheels and the sprockets. If
your BERGAMONT bike fell over to the chain side, verify the proper func-
tioning of the gears. Ask somebody to lift your BERGAMONT bike by the
saddle and carefully shift through all the gears. Pay particular attention when
switching to the small gears, making sure the rear derailleur does not get too
close to the spokes (b) as the chain climbs onto the larger sprockets. If the
rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger is bent, the rear derailleur
may collide with the spokes. This in turn can destroy the rear derailleur, the
rear wheel or the frame.
Check the function of the front derailleur, as a displaced front derailleur (c)
can throw off the chain, thus interrupting the drive of your BERGAMONT
bike. Risk of falling!
For more information see the chapter “Gears” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this BERGAMONT info CD.
4. Make sure the saddle is not out of alignment using the top tube (d) or the
bottom bracket shell as a reference. If necessary, open the clamping, realign
the saddle and retighten the clamping (e).
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the BERGAMONT bike to
the rider” and “Using quick-releases and thru axles” and the manuals of the
component manufacturers on this BERGAMONT info CD.
5. Let your BERGAMONT bike bounce on the ground from a small height (f).
If there is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and
bolted connections, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
