Replacing these components is relatively expensive compared with the costs of a

new chain. It is therefore advisable to check the condition of the chain at regular

intervals.

Your BERGAMONT dealer has accurate measuring instruments to check the chain

wear (c). Replacing the chain should ideally be left to an expert, as this requires

special tools. In addition, you need to select a chain matching your gear system.

DANGER!

An improperly joined or heavily worn chain can break and cause an accident.

NOTE!

When replacing your chain, only use appropriate and suitable original spare parts

(d). Your BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to help you.

WHEELS AND TYRES

The wheel consists of the hub, the spokes and the rim. The tyre is mounted onto

the rim so that it encases the tube in the case of the most common system, i.e. the

clincher or folding tyres. There is a rim tape running around the rim well (e) to protect

the sensitive tube against the edges of the rim trough, which are often sharp.

Another system comprises the tubular tyres which are glued on specific rims. A third

system comprises tubeless tyres which also require specific rims.

The wheels are subjected to considerable stress through the weight of the rider and

any carried luggage as well as through bumpy road surfaces and terrain. Although

wheels are manufactured with great care and delivered accurately trued, spokes and

nipples can lose a little tension on the ﬁrst kilometres. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer

to check and true up the wheels after you have bedded them in over about 100 to 300

kilometres or 5 to 15 hours of use.

After the bedding-in period, check the wheels regularly (f). It will, however, rarely be

necessary to tighten the spokes.

BICYCLE CHAIN

Regular and correct lubrication of your bicycle chain ensures enjoyable riding and

prolongs its service life. It is not the quantity but the distribution and regular appli-

cation of lubricant that counts. Clean the dirt and oil off your chain with a slightly oily

rag from time to time (a). Special degreasers are not necessary; they even have a

damaging effect.

Having cleaned the chain as thoroughly as possible, apply chain oil, wax or grease

to the chain links (b). To lubricate the chain, drip the lubricant onto the rollers of the

lower run of the chain while you turn the crank. Once this is done, turn the cranks a

few more times; then let your BERGAMONT bike rest for a few minutes so that the

lubricant can disperse. Finally wipe off excess lubricant with a rag so that it does not

spatter around during riding or can collect road dirt.

DANGER!

Make sure the braking surfaces of the rims, the rotors and the brake pads remain

clear of lubricants, otherwise the brake can fail!

NOTE!

For the sake of the environment, use biodegradable lubricants only. Bear in mind

that some of the lubricant can end up on the ground, especially in wet conditions.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

Although the chain is one of the wearing components of your BERGAMONT bike,

there are still ways for you to prolong its life. Make sure the chain is lubricated

regularly, especially after riding in the rain. Try to only use gears which run the chain

in the straightest line between the sprockets and chainrings and get into the habit of

high cadence pedalling.

Chains on bicycles with derailleur gears are worn out after approx. 1,000 to 3,500 km

or 50 to 125 hours of use. Heavily stretched chains impair the operation of derailleur

gears. Cycling with a worn-out chain also accelerates the wear of the sprockets and

chainrings.
