1. Inappropriately installed wheels may
shift while you are driving or detach
from the vehicle. This may damage
the vehicle and lead to severe or life-
threatening injuries to the driver. It is
therefore important to take note of the
following instructions: Ensure that the
axle, the dropouts and quick release
mechanisms are free of dirt. Take
care that they are correctly attached
at all times. Contact your FLYER spe
-
cialist retailer and have your vehicle
checked when you are not sure.
2. Check that all quick release fasten
-
ers and quick release axles are firmly
attached, even if your FLYER only
remained unsupervised for a short
time. You may only start driving when
all quick release fasteners are firmly
closed.
11.2 Setting up the seating position
The seat, handlebars and stem must be adjusted
to your body mass and the desired sitting positon
in order to use your FLYER safely and comfort
-
ably.
Only allow FLYER specialists to work on
your handlebars and stem. These are
components which are crucial for your
safety, so incorrect work and tools in this
area of the bicycle could lead to serious
falls.
The seat and stem can be attached with
screw connections or quick releases.
Always secure screw connections with
the correct torque, see Chapter 20.2.
Seat height
In order to transfer the pedal force effectively to
the pedals, you must set your seat to the appro
-
priate height.
Find the ideal position by sitting on the FLYER
and placing the heel of your foot onto the pedal in
its lowest position.
Now the bottom leg should be stretched. If this
is not the case, dismount, adjust the seat in the
required direction and try again.
Ensure that the quick release fastener is com
-
pletely closed after the adjustment process.
1. There are markings on the seat post
which show how far it can be pulled
out of the frame. Never pull the seat
post beyond the maximum length
marking. Otherwise the seat post may
buckle or break. If you require a long
-
er seat post to reach the correct sit
-
ting position, talk to your FLYER spe
-
cialist retailer. Never ride with a seat
post extended further than the maxi
-
mum marker as this could result in
serious falls and injury.
2. Children and persons who are not
confident cyclists should be able to
touch the ground with the tips of both
feet. Otherwise, when stopping they
run the risk of falling and suffering
serious injury.
Telescoping seat post
FLYER Uproc models can be supplied ex works
or on request with a "Reverb
Stealth" height-adjustable
seat post. This allows the
seat height to be lowered or
adjusted rapidly and safely
in difficult terrain, for exam
-
ple before big drops.
The height of the seat can
lowered by operating the
switch on the handlebars while pushing down on
the seat. If you want to return to your normal rid
-
ing position, simply operate the handlebar switch
and briefly remove any load pushing down on the
seat. The hydraulic support then resets the seat
to its usual height.
It is essential that you read the part man
-
ufacturer's operating manual when set
-
ting up and operating suspension seat
posts and telescopic seat posts.
