Bicycle Set Up 

Seat. 

Seat  Height.

       

When  the 

seat  height

  is  properly  

adjusted, the balls of your feet should easily touch the 

ground,  but  more  importantly,  your  leg  should  have  a 

slight bend when the pedal is in the extended position.  

If your legs are completely straight when pedaling, you 

need to lower the seat.  If your legs have 

more

 than a 

slight bend or your opposite knee and femur go above 

parallel  with  the  ground  when  pedaling,  you  need  to 

raise the seat. 

Seat too low 

Seat too high 

Seat just right 

CAUTION:   
There is a maximum height for extending the seat post .  

 

The horizontal backrest tube should never be more than 

6” above the seat post collar.
