RIDING SOLUTION
Seat Height
In order to obtain the more comfortable riding position and offer the best
possible pedaling efficiency, the seat height should be set correctly in
relation to the rider’s leg length. The correct saddle height should not
allow leg strain from over-extension, and the hips should not rock from
side to side when pedaling. While sitting on the bicycle with one pedal
at its lowest point, place the ball of your foot on that pedal. The correct
saddle height will allow the knee to be slightly bent in this position.
If the rider then places the heel of that foot on the pedal, the leg
should be almost straight.
Under no circumstances should the seat post project
from the frame beyond its” Minimum Insertion” or
“Maximum Extension” mark. If your seat post projects
from the frame beyond these markings, the seat post
and frame may break, which could cause you to lose
control and fall. Prior to your first ride, be sure to
tighten the seat clamp properly. A loose seat clamp
or seat post binder can cause damage to the bicycle
or can cause you to lose control and fall. Periodically
check to make sure that the seat clamp is properly
tightened.
Reach
To obtain maximum comfort, the rider should not overextend his or
her reach when riding.
