CAUTION!
A
Practise switching gears in a place free of traffic until you are familiar with the
functioning of the brake lever/shifter units or the shifters of your BERGAMONT road
bike.
CAUTION!
A
It is crucial when switching gears to continue pedalling smoothly and without too
much force. Do not shift under load, and in particular not at the front derailleur, as
this will shorten the service life of your chain considerably. Furthermore, this can lead to
chain-suck, i.e. the chain can get jammed between chainstay and chainrings.
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.
Checking and readjusting
The derailleur gears of your bike were carefully adjusted by your BERGAMONT dealer
before delivery. However, Bowden cables may stretch a little on the first kilometres,
making gear shifting imprecise and the chain rattle.
Adjusting the rear (e) and front derailleur (f) accurately is a job for an experienced
mechanic. If you want to try to do the adjustment on your own, observe in addition
the manual of the gear manufacturer. If you have any problems with the gears,
contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
NOTE!
I
For your own safety, bring your BERGAMONT bike to your BERGAMONT dealer for
its first inspection after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours of initial use or four to
six weeks, and at the very latest after three months.
SRAM brake levers/shifters (a) have only one shifter that is located behind the brake
lever. With one complete sweep of the shifter, the rear derailleur shifts in a higher gear
by one to two chainrings or three sprockets. With a short sweep the chain changes to
the next smaller chainring or sprocket.
With Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo bar end shifters (b) for triathlon and time trial
use the shifting lever is pressed downward to move the chain to the smaller sprockets
to achieve a higher gear and to the smaller chainrings to achieve a lower gear. By
pulling the shifter upwards you can shift to the larger chainrings or sprockets.
The shifters for flat bars (c) are located underneath the handlebars. The right-hand,
big shifter is actuated with the thumb. The chain moves on larger sprockets, i.e. to
lower gears. The smaller shifter is actuated either with the index finger (d) or with the
thumb and shifts into the other direction. By actuating the big shifter with the thumb
on the left side you shift to the larger chainring, i.e. to a higher gear ratio.
DANGER!
G
Always wear straight-cut trousers or use trouser clips or the like to make sure your
trousers do not get caught in the chain or the chainrings. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Shifting gears under load, i.e. while pedalling hard, can make the chain slip. At the
front derailleur the chain may even slip off the chainrings and result in an accident!
At least the service life of the chain will be shortened considerably.
DANGER!
G
If there is play between bearing shaft and cranks, they can slip off and sustain
damage. Risk of falling!
CAUTION!
A
Avoid gears which involve an extremely oblique run of the chain, as this will
increase wear!
