A THOUSAND THANKS!! I can't wait to print with these new settings.
Next week I would like to try my first print with PETG because I have to mount a pair of arms on my bike!

Just remember to print your PETG fairly strong (decent number of walls/top and bottom layers), maybe even completely solid if it's going to be bearing weight. It's a bit more flexible than PLA which in many cases is a good thing, especially if you want to exploit it (like I've made stuff that clips onto other things by bending to open it, you slide it on and then it closes) and it's also less brittle than PLA (PLA will just break, PETG will bend a little before it breaks) but it also means you need to make it strong enough for whatever you're going to do with it.
If you're mounting arms for your bike though it's definitely a better option than PLA if for no other reason than that PLA can got hot enough to start melting if you leave it out in the sun on a really hot day.

You want to keep the fan speed at 100% for all the layers. They're still not fully supported and need to set as quickly as possible.

Hope all that helps!
If you're having trouble with bridges, it's best to post some photos and the Cura project file (.3mf, in Cura get it ready to print then go to File > Save Project) so the boffins around here can better work on the diagnosis.
