OWNER’S MANUAL 2016 | ROAD BIKE

DANGER!

Make sure not to overtighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp. Other-

wise you may damage the seat post or the frame. Risk of accident!

CAUTION!

If the seat post does not move easily inside the seat tube or if it cannot be

tightened sufficiently, ask your BERGAMONT dealer for advice. Do not use

brute force!

CAUTION!

Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maximum torque value in

small steps (0.5 Nm increments) and check in between the proper fit of the

component. Never exceed the maximum torque value indicated by the manu-

facturer!

NOTE!

Children and adolescents need to have the saddle height and the position

of saddle and handlebars checked at least every 3 months!

ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEIGHT OF THE HANDLEBARS

In principle, BERGAMONT road bikes are sports bikes designed for speed. For

this reason alone a BERGAMONT road bike sets certain basic requirements

to the body, the shoulder and the neck muscles. The height of the handlebars

compared to the saddle and the distance between saddle and handlebars de-

termine how much your upper body will be inclined forward. Lowering the han-

dlebars gives you a streamlined position and brings more weight to bear on the

front wheel. However, it also entails an extremely forward leaning posture which

is tiring and less comfortable, because it increases the strain on your wrists,

arms, back, upper body and neck. As a general rule you should be able to adopt

the three basic positions (d-f) on a BERGAMONT road bike without any prob-

lems with your hands around the respective area on the handlebars.

In the case of BERGAMONT road bikes an Aheadset®-stem allows the vertical

adjustment of the handlebars. This requires special knowledge. In this regard,

the descriptions hereafter may be incomplete. If you are in doubt or if you have

any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.

Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom brack-

et or top tube as a reference point. Clamp the seat post tight again by closing

the quick-release, as described in the chapter “Using quick-releases and thru

axles” or by turning the seat post binder bolts clockwise in half turns or better

in steps of 0.5 Nm increments starting at 3 Nm (a). You should not need much

strength in your hands to clamp the seat post sufficiently tight. Otherwise the

seat post does not match the frame.

Verify in between that the seat post is sufficiently tight by taking hold of the

saddle at both ends and then trying to rotate the seat post inside the seat tube

(b). If it does rotate, gently retighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp by

half a turn or better by a quarter turn or in steps of 0.5 Nm increments and do

the check again.

Does the leg stretch test now produce the correct result? Check by moving your

foot and pedal to the lowest point. When the ball of your foot is exactly above

the pedal centre in the ideal pedalling position, your knee should be slightly

bent. If this is the case, the saddle height is adjusted to the correct height.

Check whether you can touch the ground safely while sitting on the saddle by

stretching your feet to the floor (c). If not, you should lower the saddle until you

can, at least to begin with.

DANGER!

Never apply grease or oil into a seat tube of a frame made of carbon unless

an alloy sleeve is inside the frame. If you mount a carbon seat post, do not

put any grease on it, even if the frame is made of metal. Once greased, carbon

components may never again ensure reliable clamping! Use special carbon

assembly paste instead.

DANGER!

Never ride your bike with the seat post drawn out beyond the limit, maxi-

mum, or stop mark! The seat post might break or cause severe damage to

the frame. In the case of frames with seat tubes that extend beyond the top of

the frame’s top tube the seat post should be inserted into the seat tube at least

below the bottom of the top tube and below the top of the rear stays! If seat

post and frame require different minimum insertion depths, you should opt for

the deeper insertion depth.
