DANGER!

Make sure not to overtighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp. Otherwise 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 manufacturer!

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 determine how much your

upper body will be inclined forward. Lowering the handlebars 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 problems 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 bracket or

top tube as a reference point. Clamp the seat post tight again by closing the quick-re-

lease, 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, maximum,

or stop mark! The seat post might break or cause severe damage to the frame.

Please make sure the seat post clamp is correctly orientated with the seat post frame

clamping slot in the seat tube of 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.
