Step 6

When the cyclist has taken a seat on the Position Simulator the actual measurement can start.

The hands are positioned on the break levers.

The shoes are locked into the pedal system.

After  having  found  the  correct  position  on  the  saddle,  it  is  important  that  the  cyclist  stays  in  this  position  during 
the whole measurement.

The  left  crank  should  be  fi xed  by  placing  the  locking  pin  through  the  hole  in  the  crank  into  the  fi xation  pipe  of 
the vertical tube.

The left pedal should be fi xed in a horizontal position.

The knee stop should be placed in and against the holder on the horizontal tube. Furthermore, the knee stop should be 
turned into the direction of the front of the knee.

If the stop is behind or in front of the knee, the black nut should be turned in such a way that the front of the knee and the 
brass knee stop are in connection with each other.

Repeat point 4 to 7 for the right knee.

If there is a difference between the left and right knee position, you have to take the average of both measurements.

Read  the  seat  angle  at  the  end  of  the  horizontal  outside  tube  and  type  the  data  into  the  Professional  online  program 
and compute the custom drawing.
