OWNERS MANUAL 2016 | ROAD BIKE
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 (e). The brake
levers are not always within easy reach.
DANGER!
G
During use your BERGAMONT bike is undergoing stress resulting from the
surface of the road and from the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic loads,
the different parts of your bike react with wear and fatigue. Please check your
BERGAMONT bike regularly, i.e. according to the BERGAMONT service and
maintenance schedule, for wear marks, scratches, deformations, colour chang-
es and any indication of cracking. Components which have reached the end of
their service life may break without previous warning. Let your BERGAMONT
dealer maintain and service your BERGAMONT bike regularly, i.e. according
to the BERGAMONT service and maintenance schedule. In cases of doubt it is
always best to replace components.
USING QUICK-RELEASES AND THRU AXLES
QUICK-RELEASES ON THE BERGAMONT BIKE
Most BERGAMONT bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjust-
ments, assembly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases
are tight before you set off on your BERGAMONT bike. Quick-releases should
be handled with greatest care, as they affect your safety directly.
Practise the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative ele-
ments (f):
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping force via a
cam when you close it.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the preload on
the threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set.
With disc brakes (a) you should have a stable pressure point at once. If you
have to actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking
response, have the BERGAMONT bike checked by your BERGAMONT dealer
immediately. For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals
of the component manufacturers on this BERGAMONT info CD.
5. Let your BERGAMONT bike bounce on the ground from a small height (b).
If there is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and
bolted connections, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. If your bike has a kickstand, make sure it is fully raised before you set off. Risk
of falling!
7. Do not forget to take a high quality D- (c) or chain lock with you on your ride.
The only way to effectively protect your BERGAMONT bike against theft is to
lock it to an immovable object.
8. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your BERGAMONT bike is
equipped according to the applicable regulations of your country (d). Riding
without lights and reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous be-
cause you will be seen too late or not at all by other road users. A set of lights
that corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads. Turn on the
lights as soon as dusk sets in.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on pub-
lic roads“.
DANGER!
G
Do not use your BERGAMONT bike, if it fails at one of these points! A defec-
tive BERGAMONT bike can lead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or
if you have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
DANGER!
G
Improperly closed fastenings, e.g. quick-releases, can cause parts of your
BERGAMONT bike to come loose and result in serious accidents!
