Adjusting the saddle position and tilt
The optimal horizontal position of the saddle can
be determined by the knee plumb line. The knee
plumb line is the vertical line from the front of the
knee down and should ideally pass through the
pedal axle or just in front of it.
You can determine the knee plumb line by means
of a string with a weight and a helper.
Sit on the vehicle in the position shown above with horizontal crank arms and let
a second person determine the knee plumb line.
To adjust the saddle position and tilt:
Loosen the two Allen screws of the saddle clamp,
(located in front of and behind the seatpost under
the saddle). Move the saddle horizontally and ad
-
just the tilt.
Recommendation: Saddle horizontally or with the saddle tip inclined slightly down
-
wards. Tighten the screws to 9-10 Nm.
5.2. Brake lever
You can adjust the brake lever position on the handlebar, the angle of the brake
levers and the lever width.
5.2.1.
Adjusting the brake lever position
To hold the handlebar securely while braking, it is
best to only grip the brake levers with your index
and middle fingers.
To achieve this position, you may need to move
the lever sideways so that both fingers can grip the
brake lever as shown in the photo.
