2. Front and Back Adjustment
The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to
help you get the optimal position on the bike. Ask
your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal
riding position and to show you how to make this
adjustment.
If you choose to make your own front and back
adjustment, make sure that the clamp
mechanism is clamping on the straight part of
the saddle rails and is not touching the curved
part of the rails, and that you are using the
recommended torque on the clamping
fastener(s) (See manufacturer’s instructions).
3. Saddle Angle Adjustment
Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some
riders like the saddle nose angled up or down
just a little. Your dealer can adjust saddle angle
or teach you how to do it.
If you choose to make your own saddle angle
adjustment and you have a single bolt saddle
clamp on your seat post, it is critical that you
loosen the clamp bolt sufficiently to allow any
serrations on the mechanism to disengage
before changing the saddle’s angle, and then
that the serrations fully re-engage before you
tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended
torque (See manufacturer’s instructions).
