When riding downhill, get used to braking hard and then releasing the brake again,
whenever the road surface and the situation allows for it. If you are in doubt about the
braking action, stop and let the brake system cool down.
DANGER!
G
The assignment of brake lever to brake calliper can vary, e.g. left lever acts on
front brake (c). Have a look at the handover report and check whether the brake
lever of the front brake is on the side you are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your
BERGAMONT dealer to switch the brake levers before you set off for the first time.
DANGER!
G
Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Practise emergency stops in a place
clear of traffic until you are comfortable controlling your BERGAMONT bike. This
can save you from having accidents in road traffic.
DANGER!
G
Wet weather reduces the braking effect and the road grip of the tyres. Be aware of
longer stopping distances when riding in the rain, reduce your speed and actuate
the brakes carefully.
DANGER!
G
Ensure that the braking surfaces and brake pads are absolutely free of wax, grease
and oil (e). Risk of accident!
CAUTION!
A
When replacing any parts be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate mark
and, to be on the safe side, original spare parts (f). Your BERGAMONT dealer will
be pleased to help you.
NOTE!
I
Be sure to read the manuals of the brake manufacturers before you start to
readjust or to service the brake or before doing any work whatsoever.
BRAKES
Brakes (a) are used for adjusting one’s speed to the surrounding terrain and traffic.
In an emergency situation, the brakes must bring your BERGAMONT bike to a halt as
quickly as possible.
In the event of such emergency brakings, the rider’s weight shifts forward abruptly,
thus reducing the load on the rear wheel. The rate of deceleration is primarily limited
by the danger of the rear wheel losing contact with the ground (b), resulting in an
overturning of the BERGAMONT bike and, secondly, by the grip of the tyres on the
road. Such a problem becomes particularly acute when riding downhill. Therefore,
in case of an emergency braking you should try to shift your weight towards the rear
and the ground as far as possible.
Actuate both brakes simultaneously (c) and bear in mind that, due to the weight
transfer, the front brakes can generate a far better braking effect on a surface with
good grip.
Make yourself familiar with the operation before you set off for the first time. Practise
braking on different kinds of surfaces in an area free of traffic.
Wet weather reduces the braking power. Actuate the brakes carefully when riding
on wet or slippery ground, as the tyres can easily slip away. Therefore, reduce your
speed when riding in such conditions.
There are various types of brake systems that may be subject to the following
problems:
Too long braking or brake dragging can result in an overheating of the rim brakes.
This can damage the inner tube or make the tyre slip on the rim causing a sudden
loss of air which could lead to a serious accident in the process.
With disc brakes (d) prolonged braking or permanent dragging of brake pads can
lead to an overheating of the brake system. This can result in a reduction of the
braking power or brake failure. Risk of accident!
