I

dealer for its first inspection after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours of
initial use or four to six weeks, and at the very latest after three months.
BERGAMONT SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
It is advisable to have your BERGAMONT bike serviced regularly after the bed-
ding-in phase. The schedule given in the table below is a rough guide for cyclists
who ride their bike between 1,000 and 2,000 km or 50 to 100 hours of use a year.
If you consistently ride more or if you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces,
the maintenance periods of the BERGAMONT service plan will shorten accord-
ingly.
