GENERAL NOTES ON CARE AND SERVICING

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE

Your BERGAMONT dealer will have assembled and adjusted your BERGAMONT bike

ready for use when you come to collect it. Nevertheless, your BERGAMONT bike needs

regular servicing (c). Have your local BERGAMONT dealer do the scheduled mainte-

nance work. This is the only way to ensure that all components function safely and

reliably for many kilometres.

The bike will be due for its first service after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours of initial

use or four to six weeks, at the latest however after three months. The bedding-in phase

typically involves spokes slightly losing tension or gears coming out of adjustment, so

there is every reason to have your BERGAMONT dealer service the BERGAMONT bike

at this stage. This bedding-in process is unavoidable. Therefore, remember to make

an appointment with your BERGAMONT dealer to have your new BERGAMONT bike

inspected. This first service is very important for both functioning and durability of your

BERGAMONT bike.

It is advisable to have your BERGAMONT bike serviced regularly by your BERGAMONT

dealer after the bedding-in phase, i.e. according to the BERGAMONT service and

maintenance schedule. If you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces or off-road, it will

require correspondingly shorter service periods (see BERGAMONT service plan). The

off-season during the winter months is a very good time to take your BERGAMONT bike

to your BERGAMONT dealer for the annual inspection, as they will have plenty of time

for you and for servicing.

The intended use of your BERGAMONT bike includes regular servicing and the

replacement of worn out parts in time, e.g. chains, brake pads (d) or bowden and brake

cables. This will ensure the safe functioning and therefore has an influence on the

liability for material defects and the warranty.

For more information see the chapter “BERGAMONT service and mainte-

nance schedule” in this BERGAMONT general manual as well as in your detailed

BERGAMONT owner’s manual and in the manuals of the component manufacturers.

•WARNING: Servicing and repairs are jobs best left to your BERGAMONT dealer.

If you have your bike serviced by anyone else than an expert, you run the risk that

parts of your BERGAMONT bike will fail. Risk of accident! When working on your

BERGAMONT bike; restrict yourself to jobs for which you have the suitable tools, e.g.

a torque wrench (e), and the necessary knowledge.

•WARNING: If carbon components on your BERGAMONT bike produce any

creaking or cracking noises or show any external sign of damage, such as gouges,

cracks, dents, discolorations etc., do not use the BERGAMONT bike any longer.

Contact your BERGAMONT dealer immediately; he will check the component

thoroughly.

•WARNING: Do not combine carbon handlebars with bar ends or an aero bar,

unless they are specifically approved. Do not shorten carbon handlebars or clamp

the brake levers and shifters more in the middle than indicated or needed. Risk of

breakage!

•WARNING: Make sure all carbon clamping areas are absolutely free of grease

and other lubricants! Grease will penetrate the surface of the carbon material,

thereby reducing the coefficient of friction. This will no longer provide reliable

clamping within the prescribed torque values. Once greased, carbon components

may never again ensure reliable clamping! Use a special carbon assembly paste

instead as offered by various manufacturers.

•CAUTION: Most clamps of bike carrier systems are potential sources of damage

to large-diameter frame tubes! As a result thereof carbon frames can fail during use

without previous warning. Suitable, special-purpose models are, however, available

in the car accessory trade. Inform yourself there or ask your BERGAMONT dealer

for advice.

•CAUTION: Do not clamp a carbon frame or seat post in the holding jaws of a

workstand (a)! The components may sustain damage. Mount a sturdy (aluminium)

seat post instead and use it to clamp the frame, or choose a work stand that holds

the frame at three points inside the frame triangle or which clamps the fork and

bottom bracket shell.

CAUTION: Protect the exposed areas of your carbon frame (e.g. the head tube and

the underside of the down tube) against rubbing cables or stone chips with special

pads (b) your BERGAMONT dealer keeps for sale.
