The rear swingarm is held in the normal position by a double-sided Velcro strap. This bolts on through the
mudguard hole as shown in the picture above. The purpose of the strap is to keep the rear swingarm from
dangling when the bike is picked up. To fasten, place the bike on the ground with no weight on it. Wrap one
side of the Velcro strap around the curved frame tube where the corresponding Velcro strip has been placed. The
other loose end of the Velcro strap is then wrapped over the first.
3.4 Seat angle adjustment
The seat has 5 positions of adjustment, and adjustment is simple and quick.
•
Loosen the seat mount quick-release lever.
•
If you want to make the seat more reclined set it to the slots closest to the seat cup. If you want to
make the seat less reclined, then set it to the slots furthest from the seat cup.
•
Re-tighten the seat mount quick-release.
3.5 Leg length
A small adjustment can be quite noticeable, just like adjusting the saddle on a conventional bike.
•
Change gear to the smallest chain ring.
•
Undo the two clamp bolts under the front boom. They must be loose.
•
Slide the front boom in or out by twisting and pulling or pushing
TIP – It is easier to move the boom if you get a helper to sit on the
bike with both brakes on.
•
Check the boom is vertical by eye. It's not necessary to measure anything, if it looks upright, then it
will be fine.
•
Tighten the two clamp bolts under the front boom.
•
If you have moved the boom by more than approximately 10mm you will need to check that you
have the correct chain length (see Fitting the Chain - section 2).
3.6 Brake lever adjustment
The position of the brake lever relative to the handlebars
(the ‘reach’) can be adjusted. It can be useful for move
the lever closer to the handlebar for riders with smaller
hands.
The lever has a reach adjustment screw on the underside
of the lever body, between the cable entry and the
handlebar clamp. Use a 2 mm hex key to adjust the
screw.
