For BERGAMONT cross-country, marathon and hardtail bikes trailers, child car-

bike have fastening devices for pannier racks. Contact your BERGAMONT
dealer before mounting. Note that BERGAMONT will not assume liability for
the use of trailers, child carriers and pannier racks. Such a use would render the
