NOTE!

The seating position depends highly on how you want to use the BERGAMONT

bike. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer or your trainer for help. The advice given below

is suitable for typical BERGAMONT road bikes.

NOTE!

If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your crotch, this

may be due to the saddle. Your BERGAMONT dealer has a very wide range of

saddles available and will be pleased to advise you.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT

The correct saddle height depends on the length of your legs. When pedalling, the

ball of your foot should be positioned above the centre of the pedal axle. With your

feet in this position you should not be able to stretch your legs completely straight at

the lowest point, otherwise your pedalling will become awkward (d).

Check the height of your saddle with flat-soled shoes. This is best done with suitable

cycling shoes.

Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should

be fully stretched and your hips should remain horizontal (e).

To adjust the saddle height loosen the quick-release lever (see the chapter “Using

quick-releases and thru axles“) or the binder bolt of the seat post clamp at the top

of the seat tube. The latter requires suitable tools, e.g. an Allen key, with which you

turn the bolt two to three turns anticlockwise. Now you can perform the vertical

adjustment of the seat post.

Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far – the mark on the seat post (f) (end, max.,

min., stop or the like) should always remain within the seat tube – and always grease

the part of an aluminium or titanium seat post that is inserted into a seat tube made

of aluminium, titanium or steel. Do not grease carbon seat posts and/or carbon seat

tubes in the clamping area! Use special carbon assembly paste instead.

ADJUSTING THE BERGAMONT BIKE TO THE RIDER

Your body height and proportions are decisive for the frame size of your BERGAMONT bike.

Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the top tube so that

you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your bike quickly (a).

By choosing a specific type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you will be

riding in (b+c). However, some components of your BERGAMONT bike are especially

designed so that you can adjust them to your body proportions up to a certain

degree. This includes the seat post, the handlebars and the stem as well as the brake

levers/shifters.

As all works require know-how, experience, suitable tools and skills, you should

restrict yourself to adjusting your seating position. Contact your BERGAMONT dealer,

if you are not happy with your seating position or if you want something changed.

They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your BERGAMONT bike at the

workshop, e.g. for the ﬁrst inspection.

After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional check

as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” and do a test ride on your

BERGAMONT bike in an area free of traffic.

DANGER!

If you have a very small frame, there may be the danger of your foot colliding with

the front wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly adjusted.

DANGER!

All tasks described in the following require the know-how of a mechanic and

appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted connections always

with greatest attention. Increase the torque values bit by bit and check the fit of the

component in between. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque

values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque

settings for your BERGAMONT bike”, directly on the components and/or in the manuals

of the component manufacturers.
