Seat-post/saddle:
The seat-post simply slides into position and then the clamp is used to secure it. To adjust the height of
the saddle, simply open the clamp and position the seat-post at the desired height and then close the
clamp to lock it into position. It may be necessary to tighten the thumb screw a little to ensure that when
the clamp is closed the seat-post is properly secured. Adjust the thumb-screw as needed. See the prepa-
ration/maintenance manual to determine the correct saddle height.
Pedals:
Important
—the pedals fit a specific side of the bike. If you attempt to fit the pedals to the wrong
side, you will damage the threads on the cranks and also possibly the pedals as well. Also if you
force the pedals on to the wrong side of the bike, it is very likely that they will come loose sudden-
ly and unexpectedly.
The pedals are marked ‘L’ (left) and ‘R’ (right) which indicates the side of the bike the pedal is for. To de-
termine which pedal is for which side, see the pictures below showing where this marking is found.
Fit each pedal into position and finger-tighten, then use a 15mm spanner to secure the pedals in place,
tighten to approx. 40Nm (see torque/tightness guide in the maintenance manual).
Please note that the thread for the left pedal is reversed and so it tightens anti-clockwise.
