Depending on the gear system, gear shifting is initiated by actuating a brake lever/
shifter unit (c) or a shifter (d) in the case of flat bars. Continue pedalling during gear
shifting, however, at reduced pedalling force.
The most common brake lever/shifter units and their operation are explained in the
following. It is, however, also possible that your new BERGAMONT road bike has a
gear system that is not mentioned below.
In the case of Campagnolo Ergopower (e) you shift with the shifter located behind
the brake lever to the larger chainrings or sprockets by moving it with the index or
middle finder inwards. By pressing with the thumb on the shifter inside the unit the
chain moves on the smaller chainrings or sprockets. By pressing the shifter once you
can shift up to two chainrings or three sprockets at a time.
In the case of Shimano Dual Control (f) brake lever/shifter units you shift to the
larger chainrings or sprockets by moving the entire brake lever inwards. You can shift
up to two chainrings or three sprockets per gear shift. By moving the small lever alone
that is located behind the brake lever the chain moves towards the smaller chainrings
or sprockets, but only one sprocket per tap.
The Shimano Di2 is the electronic version of the high-quality drive groups from
Shimano. Instead of cables the signal is transmitted by wires. The rear and the front
derailleurs are moved by small electrical motors. The power supply is provided by a
rechargeable battery that is mounted to the frame or in the seat post.
The shifters are positioned and actuated like the mechanical gears:
With a Di2 you must only press control buttons, instead of pressing the entire brake
lever or the lever positioned behind inward as is the case with usual dual control
shifters from Shimano. Shift to the larger sprockets by pressing the long control
button on the side of the brake lever. When you press the triangular control button
that is behind the brake lever the chain moves onto the smaller cogwheels.
NOTE!
I
Read in any case carefully the manual of the gear manufacturer. Make yourself
familiar with your new gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary. If you are in
doubt or if you have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
Operation and control
Derailleur gears always work according to the following principle:
Large front chainring – high/heavy gear – higher gear ratio
Small front chainring – low/easy gear – lower gear ratio
Large rear sprocket – low/easy gear – lower gear ratio
Small rear sprocket – high/heavy gear – higher gear ratio
Normally, the shifters are mounted as follows:
Shift lever right – rear sprockets
Shift lever left – front chainrings
Modern BERGAMONT road bikes can have up to 33 gears. As there are, however,
overlapping ranges, actually 15 to 18 gears are usable. It is not advisable to use gears
which involve an extremely oblique run of the chain, as this reduces power trans-
mission efficiency and hastens wear of the chain.
The chain runs unfavourably when the smallest chainring is used with one of the two
or three outermost (smallest) sprockets (a) or when the largest chainring is used with
one of the inmost (largest) sprockets (b).
The bottom bracket is the interface between cranks and frame. There are different
designs, in some cases the bearing spindle is part of the bottom bracket, in some
other cases it is integrated into the right crank. Sealed bottom brackets are mainte-
nance free and delivered without play ex works. The bottom bracket in the frame
must be checked for play at regular intervals.
Also check at regular intervals whether the cranks are firmly attached to the bearing
spindle or whether there is play. Grab the crank and try to jiggle it forcefully. It must
be absolutely free of play. If you notice any play, contact your BERGAMONT dealer
immediately.
