4.1 Checking/adjusting handlebar height and angle
Adjust the handlebar height and angle to fit you. Pull the handlebar and seat post up to a level
that feels right for you. Sit on the saddle, check for a comfortable height and ensure that your feet
can touch the ground on your tiptoes.
Warning:
The handlebars and handlebar post quick release must not be adjusted while riding.
All adjustments must be made while the bicycle is standing still.
The handlebar post (11) has a quick release (12) for quick and easy handlebar height adjustment.
There is also a handlebar quick release (9) for adjusting the handlebar angle.
Press the lock lever (22) forwards to lock the frame.
Make sure the lock lever’s catch has engaged into
its locked position. Check that the catch holds
the lock lever in position so the lever can’t be
moved unless the catch is pressed in.
The handlebar post has an important max extension
marking that should be observed:
MIN INSERTION
,
this marking indicates that the handlebar post is at its
maximum safe extension point, and shows the minimum
portion that must be inserted into the bicycle’s steering
column for safe operation.
Note:
The
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
markings
on the seat post should be clearly visible above the seat
post frame.
The handlebar height should be adjusted so that the rider
is in a comfortable and commanding position while
riding. Adjust the handlebar’s steering angle as needed.
Open the quick release (9) and adjust. Make sure that all
steering components are in proper working order after
adjustment.
Remember to lock all quick-releases before riding!
