GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
13
WARNING
— After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is
properly seated and tightened before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp can
cause damage to the seat post, or can cause you to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened
saddle adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement in any direction. Periodically
check to make sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened.
Seat post
MIN
INSER
T
Greyp G6.X bikes have a telescopic seat post.
Familiarise yourself with the features of the
seat post before your first ride. Only operate
the telescopic seat if it will not distract any of
your attention from the road and terrain. Refer
to information from the telescopic seat post
manufacturer (
). A telescopic
seat post allows the saddle height to be
adjusted by operating a button underneath the
saddle or a remote control on the handlebars,
both at a standstill and while ridding.
The saddle height is always measured with the crank arm pointed down and in line with the
seat tube. The distance from the centre of the pedal axle to the top of your saddle is your
saddle height. Before changing the height of your saddle, you should measure your current
saddle height.
All seat post models must be inserted into the bike seat tube to cover the minimum insertion
line indicated on the seat post. Insufficient insertion of the seat post into the bike’s frame seat
tube frame’s seat tube could result in damage to the seat post and/or bike and may result in
a loss of control of the bike, which may lead to serious injury or death.
Check battery levels before and after each use, and charge or replace batteries as needed. If
either battery is depleted during use, the seatpost will remain in the position it is in until the
battery is replaced.
To lower the seatpost, push and hold the controller paddle and use your body weight to
compress the seatpost. To raise the seatpost, unweight the saddle, then push and release the
controller paddle.
Seatpost position can be fixed to any point in its travel by releasing the controller paddle when
the seatpost is at the preferred height.
Brakes – basics
WARNING
— Braking devices on Greyp bikes are a high-performance product, offering a
stopping power greater than normal brakes. As a result, less effort is required to lock up the
wheel when braking. Be careful, as a locked wheel can result in loss of control over the bike
and can cause injuries. Brakes are essential for the safe use of a bike - an improper setup
and use of the brakes can make you lose control and cause an accident, with unpredictable
consequences and/or potentially serious injuries. Disc brakes get VERY hot when used.
