ROAD BIKE | OWNER’S MANUAL 2016

OWNER’S MANUAL 2016 | ROAD BIKE

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 pedal-

ling, 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 “Us-

ing 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 al-

ways 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 some-

thing 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 col-

liding 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 on this

BERGAMONT info CD.
