DANGER!
G
Taking up the pedals, engaging and disengaging the shoes should first be
practised when stationary. Later on you can refine your technique in a place clear
of traffic.
DANGER!
G
Only use clipless pedals allowing you to engage and disengage smoothly. A
defective pedal or a badly worn cleat can make the shoe disengage from the pedal
(e). Or unclipping the shoe from the pedal is sometimes very difficult or even impossible.
In both cases there is the danger of a fall!
DANGER!
G
Make sure pedals and shoe soles are always clear of mud and other impurities (f)
and grease the lock-in mechanism with lubricant at regular intervals.
DANGER!
G
Most cycling shoes with cleats are only suitable for walking to a limited extent. As
the cleats, in particular when mounted to road bike shoes, are thicker than the sole,
they provide less grip even on a non-slip ground. Be particularly careful.
NOTE!
I
Ask your BERGAMONT dealer for advice about the different shoe and pedal
models. Cycling shoes come in various styles for specific uses.
NOTE!
I
Read the manual of the pedal manufacturer. 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.
ACCESSORIES
In purchasing this BERGAMONT bike you laid the foundation for many years and
miles of enjoyable cycling. Whatever you are planning to do with your BERGAMONT
bike, be sure to have proper equipment and to keep a few tips in mind. Your
BERGAMONT dealer has a variety of useful accessories on offer enhancing both your
safety and convenience.
PEDALS AND SHOES
Cycling shoes should be made of solid material to provide firm support for your feet.
In addition, they should have a stiff sole so that the pedal cannot press through (a).
The sole should not be too wide in the area of the heels, as the rear stays or the
crank will otherwise get in the way of your pedalling. This will prevent your feet from
assuming a natural position when pedalling and may cause knee pain in the long run.
Your BERGAMONT dealer has a wide range of shoes available and will be pleased to
advise you.
Special cycling shoes are obligatory, if your BERGAMONT road bike is equipped with
clipless pedals (b+c). With these shoes cleats are fixed to the sole. They give you a
firm connection between shoe and pedal and allow depending on the model an at
least acceptable walking position.
The main advantage is that these step-in pedals prevent your feet from slipping off
when pedalling fast. They enable you not only to push but also to pull the pedals. This
makes your pedalling more smooth and increases the power transmission compared
to normal pedals.
The usual way to engage with the pedal is to turn it from the lowest position of the
crank to the horizontal using the tip of the cleat and push down on the back of it.
Normally, the shoe engages with the pedal with a click which you will hear and feel
clearly.
The release force of clipless pedals is adjusted by means of an Allen key (d). At the
beginning the setting should allow an easy release. Once you have more practice, you
can tighten the setting.
If there are any creaking or squeaking noises, some grease will solve the problem
in most cases. These noises as well as lateral play of the shoe on the pedal can,
however, also be signs of wear. Check the cleats at regular intervals.
DANGER!
G
Make sure the fastening bolts of the cleats are properly tightened, as you will find it
almost impossible to disengage your shoe from the pedal if the cleat is loose. Risk
of falling!
