How to Adjust Your Haul-a-Day to Fit Each Individual Rider
The Haul-a-Day is adjustable to a wide range of riders.
Adjustments can be made to the main frame (frame size) as
well as the seatmast / saddle height and stem / handlebar
height.
Frame Size: The Haul-a-Day frame can be adjusted between
a 48 cm and 60 cm in 4 cm increments.
If you are comfortable with your current bike, you can use
that measurement as a guideline for your frame adjustment.
If you experience pain in your neck, shoulders, back or knees
from your current bike, you might want to go to a bike shop
that offers fitting. They can find the correct size to set your
Haul-a-Day to for a perfect fit.
Adjusting your Haul-a-Day
Saddle Height: Proper saddle height is important in prevent-
ing injuries as well as increasing riding efficiency and com-
fort. A rough rule of thumb method for determining proper
saddle height is when the pedal is in the 6 o’clock position,
your leg should have a slight bend in it with the ball of your
foot centered on the pedal, your knee almost fully extended
(but not quite). A quick way of achieving this is to raise your
saddle in small increments until you notice your leg is fully
extended in the 6 o’clock position and then lower the saddle
slightly. Rocking your hips to be able to reach the pedals
during the pedal stroke is to be avoided.
Special Feature: If you require the saddle to be lower than
the current lowest setting, you can purchase a shim and
seatpost from Bike Friday so the seat post is usable directly
inserted into the mainframe without the use of the seatmast.
