SPINNING BIkE SET-UP
SPINNING bIkE SET-UP
•
Stand next to the Spinning bike’s seat (also known as the saddle). The seat height should be
about level with your hips when you are standing next to it.
•
Turn the seat-height adjustment knob counter-clockwise. Pull the handle out to release the pin
from the hole so you can adjust the seat height. Lower or raise the seat so it is approximately
level with your hips as you stand next to the bike.
•
Insert the pin into the correct seat height hole and turn the handle clockwise to lock it in place.
•
Get on the bike.
•
Take one pedal all the way down to the bottom of your pedal stroke. You should have a full
extension in your leg without locking out your knee. The full extension should allow for a soft
knee or even a very slight bend.
•
Bring one pedal forward and one pedal back so they are in a straight line (the front pedal
should be in the 3 o’clock position and the back in the 9 o’clock position). If you drop a straight
line down from your forward knee, it should fall directly over the centre of your front foot. If
this does not happen, you need to move the seat either forward or backward. The forward
knee should be at a 90 degree angle. You should also be able to comfortably rest your hands
on the handlebars. If you feel you are really stretching to reach the handlebars, you need to
move your seat or handlebars backwards or forwards until you are in your most comfortable
riding position.
•
Dismount the bike and adjust the forward/backward seat or handlebars position. Again, turn
the handle counter-clockwise, pull the pin out and move the seat to the desired position. Place
the pin in the chosen hole and turn the handle clockwise to secure the position.
•
Move to the front of the bike and adjust the handlebar height. The height of the handlebars
is more a matter of preference. Comfort should be the main key. Some experienced riders
choose to keep the handlebars low to replicate outdoor riding. Many riders choose a higher
handlebar height for more comfort.
