ADJUSTING THE FIT
Take a moment to learn how to properly fit your HOIST® LeMond® Series ELITE to your body; it will
make your workouts a more pleasant and safer experience. The HOIST® LeMond® Series ELITE has each
adjustment numbered so you can quickly return the adjustments to your specific settings. Making full
use of these features will give you the most comfortable ride possible and allow you to exercise effi-
ciently. Using the bike when it is incorrectly adjusted can result in unnecessary discomfort and increase
your risk of injury.
Seat Adjustment:
Adjusting the Seat’s Height
1. Stand next to the seat post and adjust the seat to hip height.
2. Rotate the crank so that the pedals are in the vertical, 12 and
6 o’clock, position.
3. Place your foot in the toe cage of the pedal closest to the floor
and mount the bike. Ensure that the ball of your foot is over
the center of the pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at
the knee (155° extension), as shown in the picture to the right.
4. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal
you will need to lower the seat. If your leg is bent too much
you will need to raise the seat.
5. Dismount the bike and pull up on the seat post cam clamp
lever. Once loosened, slide the seat post up or down as nec-
essary.
6. When the seat is in the desired position, push the cam clamp lever
down to the locked position to secure the seat post.
7. Note the final position mark on the seat post for future reference.
Adjusting the Seat’s Forward/Aft Position
1. Sit on your bike with the cranks in the 3 and 9 o’clock positions.
A proper forward/aft position of the seat is achieved when the
small bump at the top of the shin of your forward leg, directly
below the knee cap (tibial tuberosity), is above the pedal axle.
2. Dismount to adjust the seat forward or aft for a better fit.
Loosen the seat adjustment knob and slide the seat forward or
backward as desired; then tighten.
3. Note the final position mark under the seat for future refer-
ence. (Repeat steps for seat height if necessary.)
