Preparing to Ride
●
Ensure all components are properly secured before riding otherwise serious
harm or death could occur. This includes but is not limited to: pedals,
handlebars, handlebar clamp, cranks, seat, and seatpost clamp.
● Make sure you can’t twist the seat or stem out of alignment by hand.
● Check to see if your saddle is positioned at the proper height. Sit on the saddle facing
forward and place the ball of your foot on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should
be mostly straight at this point with a slight bend at the knee..
● To adjust your seat up/down, unlatch the seatpost clamp. Move the seat to the
desired height and close the seatpost clamp. Check the open/closed positions below.
● If you need to adjust the angle of your seat, loosen the nuts on both sides of the
seat, move the seat to the desired angle, then tighten the nuts. The nut
’s location is
shown below.
