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.

Practice the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.

Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative ele-

ments (a):

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.

DANGER!

Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long

down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool

down before opening the quick-release.

Safe fastening of a component with a quick-release

Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open“ (b) on the lever.

Make sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position.

For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the BERGAMONT bike to the

rider” and “Wheels and tyres” in this BERGAMONT short manual as well as in

your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s manual and in the manuals of the compo-

nent manufacturers on the enclosed BERGAMONT info CD. There you will also

find information on the RWS system from DT-Swiss.

Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read ”Close“ on

the outside of the lever. When you start closing the lever you should feel virtu-

ally no resistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle to the frame/

fork (c).

When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase sig-

nificantly and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever.

Use the ball of your thumb while your ﬁngers pull on an immovable part, such as

the fork (d) or a rear stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the

way.

In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle

(e), i.e. it should not stand out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork

so that it cannot be opened accidentally. Make sure, however, that the lever is

easy to handle for actual quick use.

To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of the

hand lever and try to turn it while it is closed (f). If you can turn the lever around,

open it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the opposite side

clockwise by half a turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it again for

tightness.

Finally lift the bike a few centimetres, so that the wheel no longer touches the

ground and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will

remain ﬁrmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame or fork without producing any

rattling.

If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check whether

the saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame.

DANGER!

Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on the side

opposite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel

accidentally the wrong way round. In the case of BERGAMONT bikes with disc

brakes and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to mount

both quick-releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This helps you

not to come into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you from having

your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your

BERGAMONT dealer.

DANGER!

Never ride your BERGAMONT bike without having checked first, whether

the wheels are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-re-

lease the wheel can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
