3.4 HEADSET
•
To check if the headset is loose or tight
1. Apply the front brake firmly while you rock the bicycle forward and backward.
2. With the front wheel off the ground, slowly rotate the fork and handlebar to the right and left. If the headset
bearings rock in the frame or do not turn smoothly, do not ride the bicycle; take the bike to your dealer for service.
Adjustment of headset bearings requires special tools and training.These services should only be performed
by your dealer.
3.5 SADDLE
The correct adjustment of the seat angle is largely a matter of personal
preference. With proper adjustment, the right bike saddle will be reasonably
comfortable even for long rides.
To select the saddle angle, first try riding with the top of the seat parallel to the
ground. The seat may also be moved forward or backward along the seat post
to increase comfort as well as adjust the distance to the handlebar.
Never engage the seat post binder with the seat post out of the frame.
