•CAUTION: Do not clean your BERGAMONT bike with a high-pressure cleaner or a

water jet and if you do, be sure to keep it at a distance. Do not aim at the bearings.

SHELTERING AND STORING YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE

If you regularly look after your BERGAMONT bike during the season, you will not need

to take any special measures when storing it for a short time, apart from securing it

against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place.

If you want to store your BERGAMONT bike for a longer period of time, e.g. over the

winter months, please observe the following things: Inﬂated inner tubes tend to gradually

lose air when the bike is not used for a long time. If your BERGAMONT bike is left

standing on flat tyres for an extended period, this can cause damage to the structure

of the tyres. It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the entire BERGAMONT bike (a)

or to check the tyre pressure regularly (b). Clean your BERGAMONT bike and protect

it against corrosion. Your BERGAMONT dealer has special maintenance products, e.g.

spray wax

(c)

Dismount the seat post and let dry away possibly penetrated humidity. Spray a little

ﬁnely atomized oil into the metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil in a carbon seat

tube. Shift the gear to the smallest chainring and the smallest sprocket. This relaxes the

cables and the springs.

•CAUTION: Do not hang your BERGAMONT bike on carbon rims. Mount instead

at least one aluminium wheel.

CAUTION: There are hardly any waiting times at your BERGAMONT dealer during the

winter months. In addition, many of the BERGAMONT dealers offer an annual check-

up at a special price. Benefit from the idle time and ask your BERGAMONT dealer to

do the scheduled maintenance work!

•CAUTION: If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use

original spare parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or tyres

that are not of identical dimension, may render your BERGAMONT bike unsafe. Risk

of accident!

CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE

Dried sweat, dirt and salt from riding during the winter or in sea air can harm your

BERGAMONT bike. You should therefore make it a habit of cleaning all components at

regular intervals.

Avoid cleaning your bike with a high-pressure cleaner. The high-pressure jet is likely to

enter bearings by passing through the seals and dilute the lubricants hereby increasing

the friction. This destroys and impairs the functioning of the bearing races in the long

term. High-pressure jets are also likely to remove frame and rim stickers.

A much more gentle way of cleaning your bike is with a low-pressure water jet or a

bucket of water and a sponge or a large brush. Cleaning your bike by hand has another

positive side-effect: you may discover defects in the paint as well as worn or defective

components at an early stage.

After cleaning and drying you should check the chain for wear (f, p. 35) and apply

lubricant agent (see the chapter “Bicycle chain” in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s

manual as well as in the manuals of the component manufacturers). For additional infor-

mation 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.

Wipe dry the sliding surfaces of the suspension fork and the rear shock and apply

special spray approved by the manufacturer.

Apply a coat of standard hard wax on painted, metal and carbon surfaces (except from

brake surfaces and brake discs). Polish the waxed surfaces after drying to give them a

nice shine.

•WARNING: Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear of the brake pads, brake

discs and rim sides (braking surfaces). Otherwise the brake could fail. Never grease

or lubricate the clamping areas of a frame made of carbon, e.g. handlebars, stem,

seat post and seat tube. Once greased, carbon components may never again ensure

reliable clamping!

•WARNING: While cleaning, watch out for cracks, scratches, dents as well as

deformed or discoloured material. Have defective components replaced immediately

and touch up paint defects. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact

your BERGAMONT dealer.

•CAUTION: Only use petroleum-based solvents for cleaning tough oil or grease

stains from paint and carbon surfaces. Never use degreasing agents containing

acetone, methyl chloride or the like, or solvent-containing, non-neutral or chemical

cleaning agents that could attack the surface!
