Checking and adjusting the saddle
Checking the saddle height
One pedal has to be at the lowest point. Sit down on the saddle and place your heel on the pedal. If
you sit upright on the saddle and your knee is straight, the saddle has the right height.
Adjusting the saddle height, saddle tilt and saddle position
This formula shows, at what height the saddle should be pre-positioned: 0,885 x inseam
Adjusting the saddle tilt:
Align your bicycle saddle as horizontally as possible. Find your most comfortable seating position on a
longer bike ride. You can try to ride the bike with a saddle position tilted slightly forward. If you are
tilted slightly backward, you can quickly experience pain or physical injury.
Adjusting the saddle height:
To adjust the saddle height, loosen the quick release skewers. Adjust the seat height by pulling out the
seat post. Close the quick release. Check the saddle height. If
it’s necessary, repeat this process.
Never pull the seat post out of the seat tube above the maximum mark.
It can cause injury to the rider and damage to the bike.
Adjusting the saddle position:
To adjust the saddle position, place the crank in a horizontal position.
Place your foot on the front pedal and move the saddle, until the front
of the kneecap and the axis of the pedal form one vertical line. Since
saddle height and saddle position influence each other, check the saddle
height and adjust it again if the saddle is moved more than 10mm.
