4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to a
height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with your heel
(d). The hips should remain horizontal. Check whether your toes reach to the floor
when you are sitting on the saddle. Your BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to
help you, if you are not happy with your seating position.
For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the BERGAMONT bike to the
rider”.
5. If your BERGAMONT bike is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals (e): Have
you ever tried cycling with the respective cycling shoes? First practise locking one
shoe onto a pedal and disengaging it while standing on the other leg. Ask your
BERGAMONT dealer to explain you the pedals and to adjust them to your needs.
For more information see the chapter “Pedals and shoes” and the manuals of the
component manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the web
links for the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike
brand you have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
DANGER!
G
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, when you are
riding with your hands on aero bars or on triathlon bars. The brake levers are not
always within easy reach.
DANGER!
G
Be sure to use your BERGAMONT bike only for its intended purpose, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the top
tube (f) so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your bicycle quickly.
DANGER!

Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in wet condi-
tions. Look well ahead when riding on wet roads and go well below the speed you
would ride at in dry conditions.
TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
1. If you want to use your bike on public roads, it has to comply with legal require-
ments. These requirements may vary in each country. The fittings of your
BERGAMONT bike are, therefore, not necessarily complete (a).
Ask your BERGAMONT dealer concerning the laws and regulations applicable in
your country or in the country you intend to use your BERGAMONT bike. Have
your BERGAMONT bike equipped accordingly before using it on public roads.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public
roads“.
2. Are you familiar with the brake system (b)? Have a look at the handover report
and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side you are used
to (right or left). If it is not, ask your BERGAMONT dealer to switch the brake levers
before you set off for the first time.
Your new bike is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more powerful
than those you were used to so far. Be sure to first practise using the brakes on
a level, non-slip surface off public roads! Slowly approach higher brake perfor-
mances and speeds.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the component
manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the
component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you
have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears (c)? Ask your
BERGAMONT dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar
with your new gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see chapter “Gears” and the manuals of the component
manufacturers. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the
component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you
have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
