What to bear in mind with aero bars on BERGAMONT triathlon bikes and

BERGAMONT time trial machines

In triathlon sport and time trial, where a particularly aerodynamic seating position is

important, so-called aero bars (e) are commonly used. With these aero models the

shifters are often positioned at the handlebar ends, the brake levers at the ends of

bull-horn handlebars.

When you ride with your back in a horizontal position, the brake levers are out of

reach and the reaction time is longer, which makes your stopping distance longer. For

this reason it is very important to anticipate problems when riding.

Within certain limits the position of the handlebars can be adjusted according to your

personal preferences. That means that the straight part of the aero bars should point

downwards or upwards to an only minor degree. The basic handlebars should be

parallel to the ground or point slightly upwards. Make sure your forearms are always

comfortably rested, i.e. your elbows should project beyond the armrests a little

towards the rear (f). Bring the armrests in a position which allow you to breathe freely.

DANGER!

Note that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, while riding with the

hands on the top handlebars or in aerodynamic position. The brake levers are not

always within easy reach.

CAUTION!

BERGAMONT triathlon bikes and BERGAMONT time trial machines have specific

riding characteristics. Make yourself familiar with your new BERGAMONT triathlon

bike or with your new BERGAMONT time trial machine in an unfrequented area and

approach the riding characteristics step by step.

Adjustment of handlebar tilt and brake lever/shifter units on BERGAMONT

road bikes and BERGAMONT cyclo-cross bikes

The straight extensions below the drops should be parallel to the ground or point

slightly downwards towards the rear (a). The grips of the brake lever/shifter units are

horizontal or point slightly upwards. The ends of the brake lever/shifter units should

meet an imaginary extension of the bottom line of the drops.

Shifting the brake levers/shifters is a job best left to your BERGAMONT dealer, as it

involves retaping the handlebars afterwards.

To adjust the tilt of the handlebars, release the Allen bolt(s) on the underside or

front side of the stem. Turn the handlebars to the desired position. Make sure the

handlebars are accurately centred in the stem.

Carefully retighten the bolt(s) with the torque wrench. Make sure the upper and lower

clamping slots of the stem are parallel and identical in width (b). If you have a stem

with several bolts, tighten them evenly in a cross pattern (c) by using a torque wrench

and observe the recommended torque values.

Check by trying to rotate the handlebars relative to the stem and tighten the bolt a

little more, if necessary (d).

Use a torque wrench and do not exceed the maximum torque values given in the

chapter “Recommended torque settings for your BERGAMONT bike” or in the

manuals of the component manufacturers. If you disregard the prescribed values, the

components may come loose or break. This can lead to a severe crash.
