BRAKES

Brakes (c+d) 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, resulting in an overturning

of the BERGAMONT bike and, secondly, by the grip of the tyres on the road (e). 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 (f) 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.

The braking conditions on unpaved surfaces and when it is wet or dirty differ, i.e.

overbraking the front wheel can make the wheel slip away.

Make yourself familiar with the operation before you set off for the first time. Practice

braking on different kinds of surfaces in an area free of traffic.

For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s

manual. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for the component

manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via

your Quick Start Manual.

•WARNING: The assignment of brake lever to brake calliper can vary, e.g. left

lever acts on front brake. Have a look at the BERGAMONT 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.

•WARNING: Be careful while getting used to the brakes. Practice 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.

•WARNING: 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.

•WARNING: Full suspension frames are designed to absorb shocks. If the rear

shock is too rigid and jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly into the

frame without any damping. This could damage the rear shock itself as well as the

frame. If your rear shock has a lockout mechanism, do not activate the lockout

function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth terrain

(roads, field tracks).

•WARNING: The rear shock should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does

not reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases (a). A spring

rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard or felt as a

“clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete compression of the

suspension strut as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension strut frequently reaches

bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and so will the frame.

•WARNING: A too strong damping of the rear frame can result in a sluggish

rebound movement with a suspension strut that will not recover when exposed to a

quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!

•WARNING: Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not

with tools, in the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening the

fastening mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers normally

mark adjustment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder

suspension) and “-” signs (b).

CAUTION: Rear shock manufacturers normally include manuals with their deliveries.

Read these carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance work

on your rear shock. For additional information on your bicycle and the web links for

the component manufacturers, please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you

have purchased via your Quick Start Manual.
