Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt, causing you to
lose control and fall.
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial eff ect on performance
and comfort. To fi nd your best saddle position, make only one adjustment at a
time.
WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle
adjusting mechanism is properly seated and tightened before riding. A
loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp can cause damage to the seat post,
or can cause you to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened saddle
adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement in any direction.
Periodically check to make sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is
properly tightened.
If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and fore-and-aft position,
your saddle is still uncomfortable, you may need a diff erent saddle design.
Saddles, like people, come in many diff erent shapes, sizes and resilience. A bicycle
dealer can help you select a saddle which, when correctly adjusted for your body
and riding style, will be comfortable.
WARNING: Some people have claimed that extended riding with a
saddle which is incorrectly adjusted or which does not support your pelvic
area correctly can cause short-term or long-term injury to nerves and blood
vessels, or even impotence. If your saddle causes you pain, numbness or
other discomfort, listen to your body and stop riding until you see your
dealer about saddle adjustment or a diff erent saddle.
3.3 Control position adjustments
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and their position on the
handlebars can be changed. Ask your dealer to make the adjustments for you.
If you choose to make your own control lever angle adjustment, be sure to re-
tighten the clamp fasteners to the recommended torque (Appendix B).
WARNING: Adjusting the control lever angle may interfere with your
steering capabilities in Carrier Bicycle Mode. The control levers may strike
the frame of the ChildPod®, hindering your turning radius. The control
levers should angle in such a way that they clear the back of the ChildPod®.
