OWNERS MANUAL 2016 | ROAD BIKE
DANGER!
G
Loose connections and leaky brake lines drastically impair braking pow-
er. If you find leaks in the brake system or buckled lines, contact your
BERGAMONT dealer immediately!
DANGER!
G
If your brake system works with DOT brake fluid, the latter needs to be re-
placed regularly according to the intervals prescribed by the manufacturer.
DANGER!
G
Do not transport your BERGAMONT road bike with saddle and handlebars
upside down – risk of brake failure. Never turn it upside down for repair
works (e).
CAUTION!
A
Do not open the brake lines. Brake fluid that can be very unhealthy and
damaging to the paint could leak out and render the brake ineffective.
CAUTION!
A
A heavily clogged brake can lead to squeaking noises during braking.
NOTE!
I
Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap (f), when trans-
porting your BERGAMONT bike with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent
air from entering the system.
NOTE!
I
Read in any case the manual of the brake manufacturer on this
BERGAMONT info CD carefully before removing the wheel or doing any
maintenance work. Improper operation can lead to brake failure.
DANGER!
G
Dirty brake pads and rotors can lead to drastically reduced braking power.
Therefore, make sure the brake remains free of oil and other fluids, especial-
ly when you clean your BERGAMONT bike or grease the chain. Dirty brake pads
can under no circumstances be cleaned, they must be replaced! Rotors can be
cleaned with special brake cleaners or with warm water and mild soap.
DANGER!
G
Unusual noises (scratching, chafing etc.) during braking and/or a noticea-
ble change of the braking force (stronger or weaker) are indications that
the brake pads are soiled or worn down (a). Check the brake pads and replace
them, if necessary. Otherwise you risk further damage, e.g. to the rotor, or even
an accident due to brake failure! If you are in doubt, contact your BERGAMONT
dealer.
CAUTION!
A
If your BERGAMONT bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks
(b) before transporting your bike with the wheels dismounted.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Functional check
Regularly check the lines and connections for leaks while pulling on the lever.
Contact your BERGAMONT dealer immediately in the event of a brake liquid
leakage. A leak in the brake lines can render the brake ineffective. Risk of acci-
dent!
Wear and maintenance
Hydraulic disc brakes have a mechanism which automatically compensates for
the worn down brake pads. The brake lever travel does not change (c).
Check the pads for wear at regular intervals (d) by following the service instruc-
tions in the manuals of the respective manufacturer.
