3.1.2 Saddle adjustment
You can find our selection of saddle forms on
page 10 of these Instructions for use.
Saddle height
The height of the saddle can be adjusted
on the frame saddle tube (
A
) by pulling the
saddle post in or out. In order to adjust the
height, please loosen the clamp (
B
) and bring
the saddle into the required height. Align the
saddle and tighten the clamp (
B
) so tightly
that the saddle support no longer twists. The saddle height is to be re-set
based on the inseam length. Here any contractures of the knees must be ta-
ken into consideration. The saddle height should be inspected when the user
is sitting on the saddle. The leg extension should not total 0°. In the upper
position of the pedal, the knee flexion should not be more than 90°. Should
it not be possible to achieved this setting through the saddle height, it is
possible to undertake further settings through crank shortening (see points
4.9 - 4.11
).
Adjusting the saddle horizontally
Every saddle (except for the unicycle sadd-
le) can be minimally adjusted horizontally. To
do this, loosen the two nuts (
D
) with a 13mm
wrench and push the saddle clamp (
C
) on the
saddle struts to the front or to the rear.
Adjusting the saddle with t-saddle post ho-
rizontally
In order to check the horizontal saddle positi-
on, turn the pedal crank horizontally forwards
and put the foot (while the rider is sitting on
the saddle) onto the pedal. Once the lower
leg is vertical, the saddle position is correct.
You can also loosen the two nuts (
D
) under
the saddle with a 13mm wrench and push the
saddle to the rear or forwards.
During adjustment, the saddle post may not
be pulled out over the respective marking, as
in this case sufficient clamping cannot be guaranteed. The markings are
in part designed differently.
After each adjustment, please re-tighten all screw connections!
