Note in general that the suspension fork must give in a little even when you are just

sitting on the bike (c) – this is the so-called negative suspension travel or sag. When

the front wheel passes through a depression in the ground, the spring extends and

the suspension fork will smooth out the uneven surface. If the air pressure or the

spring preload is too high, this effect is lost because the suspension fork is already

fully extended. This means that an important comfort and safety factor is lost if the

tyre briefly loses contact with the ground.

The suspension fork should yield by 10-20 % of the maximum suspension travel.

To measure the travel you can use the rubber ring (d) mainly located on the thinner,

plunging tube of the suspension fork. If there is no rubber ring, tie up a cable tie

around one of the stanchion tubes. Make sure it is not too tight, you should still be

able to move it, it should however not slip by itself.

Put on your usual riding clothing (including if necessary a packed rucksack), sit on

your bike and bring yourself into the usual riding position. Lean against a fixed object

(railings, wall etc.) and make sure you do not fall over. Ask a helper to move the rubber

ring or the cable tie downwards against the dust seal at the lower leg.

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 (e). Compare it with the total suspension travel (as specified by the

manufacturer) to determine whether the suspension should be set to be harder or

softer.

With pneumatic suspension forks the spring rate is set by the air pressure in the fork.

The pressure must be set before the first ride by means of a special high-pressure

pump with pressure gauge (f) and modified later as required due to changes in the

weight of the rider and/or load.

Note the appropriate setting values and check them subsequently at regular intervals.

Always follow the recommendations of the manufacturer and never exceed the

maximum air pressure for the suspension fork. Always make a test ride after each

change to the settings.

Rebound damping

In most cases a red adjusting knob. (a)

The damping which controls the rate at which the forks extend after being

compressed. Prevents bike bobbing.

Lockout (b)

In most cases a lever on the suspension element or the handlebars.

A device to block the fork so that the suspension element does not cause bob when

riding on tarred roads or smooth surfaces. Not to be used off road.

FRONT SUSPENSION

Most of the BERGAMONT city, trekking bikes and BERGAMONT pedelecs 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

contact for the tyre. It noticeably reduces the strain on you and your bicycle caused

by the mechanical shocks from the terrain.

Suspension forks differ in their types of spring elements and damping. Suspension

forks normally work with air spring elements or less often with coil springs. Damping

is usually done by oil.

NOTE!

Suspension fork manufacturers normally include instructions with their deliveries.

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

on your suspension fork.

NOTE!

For more information see the suspension glossary heading this chapter.

Adjusting the spring rate

To work perfectly, the suspension fork has to be adjusted to the weight of the rider,

the sitting posture and the intended use. Be sure to have this adjustment carried out

by your BERGAMONT dealer at the time of delivery.
