SADDLE HEIGHT
To ride comfortably and pedal efficiently, it’s very important to have the saddle at the correct height.
Your leg length determines the correct saddle height. The saddle is at the correct height for you when,
while seated on the saddle, your knee is slightly bent when the crank is at the maximum down stroke
(pedal is closest to the ground).
To adjust the saddle height, loosen the seat binder bolt (A) or the quick release (B) and move the
seat post up or down as required. Make sure that the saddle is parallel to the top tube of the bicycle.
Retighten the seat post tight enough so that you cannot twist the saddle out of alignment.
A loose seat post will allow the saddle to turn or slip and may cause you to lose control and fall.
Therefore:
1. Ask your bicycle retailer to help you make sure you know how to correctly clamp your seat post.
2. Before you ride the bicycle, first check that the seat post is securely clamped.
Under no circumstances should the seat post project from the frame beyond its ‘Minimum Insertion’ or
‘Maximum Extension’ mark.
WARNING:
do not replace the seat post
with a post which is: A) not of the same diameter or B) longer than
the original. Either will void the warranty and could lead to seat post failure, loss of rider control and injury.
