–
If a pedal is at the top, the knee angle of the upper leg and the
arm angle is 90°. The lower leg is slightly bent (see Fig, “Key
features of an optimal sitting position” , left).
– If one pedal is in front, the knee should be located above the
axle of the front pedal (see Fig “Key features of an optimal
sitting position” , right).
– The arms are relaxed and slightly bent outwards (not shown
in the picture below).
– The back is not perpendicular to the seat post.

4.4.1 Changing components
If the optimal sitting position cannot be achieved by adjusting the
seat and the handlebars, on many bicycle models it is possible
to replace the seat post, the saddle, the handlebar stem and the
pedal cranks.
If selling or passing the bicycle on to another person, this can be
an option to enable continued use of the bicycle.
•
If the sitting position cannot be optimally adjusted, ask
your specialist dealer to fit components with different
measurements.
