Saddle Assembly:
o
Loosen the seat post clamp. If your bike has
a
quick release lever rotate the quick release
clamp
until it is fully open.
o
Quick release levers operate with an adjusting
nut at one end, and a lever on a cam at the other
end.
o
Always adjust the Quick release clamp with
the
lever in the open position, and by turning the
nut
(not the lever) as shown in Figure 5.2.
−
Insert seat post into the frame tube. Slide
it
down to desired height, ensuring the minimum
insertion mark cannot be seen as shown in
Figure 5.3
−
Check that the saddle is aligned with frame
and
set at the correct angle. To align the saddle,
stand
over the bike and align the nose of the
saddle to run
parallel with the top tube of the
frame. Once the saddle is correctly aligned
tighten the adjusting nut and
then close the
quick release lever as shown in Figure
5.4
WARNING
!
Your seat post must be inserted in the frame seat
tube far enough so that the Minimum Insertion
Mark (Figure 5.1) cannot be seen.
Failure to do this may cause the seat post to break,
which could cause you to lose control and fall
resulting in serious injury or death.
Handlebar Assembly:
•
Carefully remove protective packaging.
•
Inspect cables, levers, electronics ‘if equipped’
and shifters for damage.
•
Remove factory installed front plate on the
steering stem as shown in Figure 4.1.
•
Place handlebar into stem and replace front
plate making sure the handlebar is equal in
length on
both sides.
Beginning with the top left bolt
,
use the correct size
allen key to turn the bolt clockwise two full
turns.
−
Repeat this step for the bottom right bolt.
−
Repeat this step for top right bolt.
−
Repeat this step for bottom left bolt.
•
Ensure lengths are equal on both sides for
correct
positioning of handlebars as shown in Figure
4.2.
•
For flat handlebars the controls are roughly at
a
45° angle with the ground. Once desired
handlebar
position is found
,
you will now need to
tighten the
bolts on the front plate of the stem.
•
Follow these simple steps and repeat until
the
handlebar is stable and the recommended torque
settings are reached
.
•
Repeat this sequence one turn at a time until
spaces between the face plate and stem are even
at all
four points as shown in Figure 4.3.
•
Torque settings: For a 5/6mm bolts a 9N/M
maximum torque must be applied
.
