There is a mark on the saddle post showing
the maximum amount you can pull the
saddle post out of the frame. Never pull out
the saddle post beyond this mark, otherwise
it can buckle or break and you could fall off.
For 3. Stretch out leg
If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and
fore-and-aft position, your saddle is still uncomfortable, you
may need a different saddle design. Saddles, like people,
come in many different shapes, sizes and resilience. Your
dealer can help you select a saddle which, when correctly
adjusted for your body and riding style, will be comfortable.
Riding with an improperly tightened seat post can allow the
saddle to turn or move and cause you to lose control and
fall. Therefore:
»
Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know how to
correctly clamp your seat post.
»
Understand and apply the correct technique for
clamping your seat post.
»
Before you ride the bike, first check that the seat post is
securely clamped.
