  • Page 76: Front Suspension

    FRONT SUSPENSION Most of the BERGAMONT mountain bikes (a) and BERGAMONT pedelecs (b) have suspension forks. This feature gives you better control of your BERGAMONT bike when riding cross-country or on rough road surfaces and ensures more ground con- tact for the tyre. It noticeably reduces the strain on you and your bicycle caused by the mechanical shocks from the terrain.
  • Page 77 Get off your BERGAMONT bike so that the fork does not compress any more. The distance between the rubber ring/cable tie and the wiper is the negative suspension travel, or sag (d).
  • Page 78 In the case of air-suspension forks the pressure must be increased. In the case of steel coils, have them replaced by your BERGAMONT dealer.
  • Page 79: Setting The Damping

    A high compression speed would possibly make the fork bottom out. ENGLISH MOUNTAIN BIKE AND MOUNTAIN BIKE-PEDELEC | ORIGINAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2023...
  • Page 80 Always check a changed adjustment during a test ride in the terrain. If you do not trust the setting of the damping or if problems occur with it, contact your BERGAMONT dealer or follow the corresponding instructions in the manual of the suspension fork manufacturer.
  • Page 81: Lockout

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS In case of inquiries, contact your BERGAMONT dealer or follow the respective instruc- tions in the manual of the suspension fork manufacturer. Lockout When taking long uphill rides involving hard pedalling out of the saddle, a suspension fork is typically bobbing.
  • Page 82: Maintenance

    Suspension elements are of sophisticated design. The maintenance routines and above all the disassembly of the suspension elements are jobs best left to your BERGAMONT dealer or the fork manufacturer’s service centre.

  • Page 83: Rear Suspension

    REAR SUSPENSION Full suspension BERGAMONT bikes are not only equipped with a suspension fork but also with movable rear frame (d) which are sprung and damped by a rear shock. This feature gives you better control of your BERGAMONT bike when riding cross-country or on rough road surfaces and ensures more ground contact for the tyre.
  • Page 84: What To Bear In Mind When Adjusting The Seating Position

    Note in general that the rear frame must give in a little even when you are just sitting on your BERGAMONT bike – this is negative suspension travel, also referred to as sag (a). If you ride over a pothole the spring is decompressed and the rear frame compensates for the unevenness.
  • Page 85 Get off your BERGAMONT bike so that the rear frame does not compress any more. The distance between the rubber ring/cable tie and the wiper is the negative suspen- sion travel, or sag (c).

    3. After having washed your BERGAMONT bike, apply a little grease spray approved by the manufacturers on the piston rod of the rear shock and the bearings (e) or apply a very thin layer of hydraulic oil.
  • Page 92 Lift your BERGAMONT bike for checking by the saddle (a) and try to move the rear wheel to both sides. If you need help, ask a helper to hold the front part of the frame tight. To check whether the rear shock has play, place down the rear wheel gently and lift it again subsequently.
  • Page 93: Brakes

    BRAKES Brakes (c) 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.
  • Page 94 Have a look at the handover report in the Quick Start Manual 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.
  • Page 95: Rim Brakes

    Be sure to observe the appropriate instructions of the respective manufacturer. See your BERGAMONT dealer and ask them to examine the remaining thickness of the rims when you have worn through your second set of brake pads at the latest.
  • Page 96 Replacing and adjusting the brake pads is a job best left to your BERGAMONT dealer. Have your rims regularly inspected and measured by your BERGAMONT dealer. Synchronising and readjusting Almost all brake designs have a bolt located next to one or both brake callipers for adjusting the spring preload (a).
  • Page 97: Disc Brakes

    With an unapplied brake the brake pads should not be too close to the rim sides, otherwise they could drag along the rim during riding. Before making this adjustment, observe the notes in the chapter “Brake lever reach adjustment on BERGAMONT mountain bikes”.
  • Page 98 Disc brakes get hot in use. For this reason do not touch the brakes directly after stop- ping, especially after a long downhill ride. NOTICE If your BERGAMONT bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount the safety locks (a) before transporting your bike with the wheels dismounted. ENGLISH...
  • Page 99: Hydraulic Disc Brakes

    Regularly check the lines (b) 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 accident!
  • Page 100: Mechanical Disc Brakes

    WARNING Transport of your BERGAMONT bike with the wheels mounted: Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong elastic strap, when transporting your BERGAMONT bike with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent air from entering the system. NOTICE When transporting your BERGAMONT bike with the wheels removed, make sure to mount the transport locks.
  • Page 101: Gears

    GEARS DERAILLEUR GEARS The gears (e+f) of your BERGAMONT bike serve to adjust the gear ratio to the terrain you are riding on and the desired speed. A low gear (where in the case of derailleur gears the chain runs on the small chainring and a large sprocket) allows you to climb steep hills with moderate pedalling force.
