Using Clipless Pedals - BERG CYCLES vertex Serie Manual De Usuario

ADJUST V-BRAKE BRAKES
1. Check pads are aligned with rim surface;
2. Brake pads must be adjusted so as to be between 1 and 2 mm away from the fitted rim;
3. The brake pads should be centred on the rim and inclined forward so that the back of each brake pad is approximately 0.5 to
1.0mm away from the rim than the front pad part;
4. Check that the brake shoes are symmetrical to the rim.
If they are not, tune the return spring tension with the adjustment screws, as shown in the following figure;
5. Adjust the brake cable tension as the pads begin to wear (increase tension as they begin to wear).

ADJUST DISC BRAKES
The drive of the disc brakes can be accomplished using a mechanical or hydraulic system.
To align the disc brake, check the following points:
1. With the actuating lever in stand-by, check whether there is contact between the pads and the disc;
2. If there is contact, loosen the clamping bolts, fully tighten the driver lever and tighten the clamping bolts.

The hydraulically operated disc brakes represent a more sensitive and complex mechanism. These brakes should be tuned when
purchasing your bicycle. If you notice poor tuning of the braking system, request prior adjustment from your retailer.
Note: If you notice your brakes malfunction (poor braking power and noise) after use, please consult your retailer.

ADJUST DRUM BRAKES AND COASTER BRAKES
These braking features are located inside the wheel hub. They can be triggered by a crank (drum brake) or through back-pedalling
(coaster brake).
To tune drum brakes, please consult your retailer.
With back-pedalling brakes (coaster brakes), braking is activated by the rotation of the pedals in the opposite direction to cycling.
To apply braking force, braking must have initiated before the crank has rotated 60° (1/6 turn) back.
With coaster brakes, braking is transmitted through the chain. You must check the chain tension to ensure proper brake function-
ing and prevent the chain from popping out.

USING CLIPLESS PEDALS

When using clipless pedals, some practise is required and a period of practise is recommended to prevent falls and accidents.
It is recommended you understand the engaging/disengaging mechanism of the pedals before experimenting on the bicycle. To do
this, engage and disengage your shoes manually on the pedals.
Try your bicycle initially with clipless pedals in a quiet location, with no traffic and no pedestrians, to avoid accidents and falls.
Before using the bicycle, adjust the spring tension of the pedals to your liking. If the spring tension of the pedals is low, the cleats
may come off accidentally and you may loose your balance and suffer a fall. If the spring tension of the pedals is high, it will be
harder to disengage from the pedals.
When cycling at a low speed or when you may need to brake (for example, when reversing the direction of travel, near an intersec-
tion, pedalling up hill or navigating a blind bend), undock your shoes from the pedals beforehand so that you can quickly place your
feet on the ground at any time.
Use a lower spring tension to fix the pedal's cleats when cycling in adverse conditions.
Keep the cleats and fastenings free of dirt and debris to ensure attachment and detachment.
Remember to periodically check the cleats in terms of wear. Always check the spring tension after replacing the cleats and before
using the bicycle.
Note: Use only appropriate shoes with this product. Other types of shoes may not detach from the pedals or may release suddenly.
SPD PEDAL FUNCTION
We recommend reading the information provided by the manufacturer of your pedals before use.
The following points work merely as an example of general use. Different pedals may operate differently. Please see the manufac-
turer's information on the pedals for more information.
Please contact your retailer for more information about maintenance and use.
