Operational Instructions
1) Seat Adjustments
The easiest way to start this
adjustment is to stand next to the
bike and raise the seat to hip height.
Mount the bike and check to see if
you have a slight bend in your knee
when the pedal is in the 6 o’clock
position. Once you have the correct
height, it is time to review the fore/
aft position of the seat. The proper
fore/aft position is when your
knee is over the pedal axle in the
3 o’clock pedal position. After you
complete the fore/aft adjustment,
you may need to review the seat
height one more time to insure
proper positioning.
2) Handlebar Adjustments
Handlebar height is really a matter of preference. It is best to
start with a height similar to the seat. If a more comfortable
position is desired, move the handlebar higher to achieve a more
upright position. Many experienced bike riders may prefer a
lower handlebar setting which places them in a prone position
similar to their road bike. On the fore/aft positioning of the
handlebar, it is generally recommended that your arm is at a 90
degree angle when in a triathlon tuck position. A more aggressive
position would put your arms further in front of you.
