You are about to use your new COMMENCAL bicycle for the first time. It is
necessary to adapt the bicycle to your own needs so that you can ride in
complete safety. Please do the following checks.
ADAPTING THE BIKE TO YOUR ANATOMY
- Installation of the pedals
Some of our models are delivered with pedals. WARNING: Left & right
pedals are different to one another and therefore need to be fixed
accordingly. Lightly grease the pedal threads before fixing. The right pedal
is screwed in clockwise, whereas the left pedal is screwed in anti-clockwise.
Tighten the pedals until they are firmly united with the crank arms.
- Setting the height of the saddle
The saddle height is the main adjustment needed to determine comfort,
position and pedal efficiency. To correctly adjust this use this simple
practise. Position a crank arm at the bottom of a pedal stroke and place
your heel on the pedal. In this position your leg should be just about straight
without tilting your hips (fig.1).
To adjust the seat tube, you will need to loosen the seat tube clamp.
If it is a bolt, please refer to the recommended torque settings chapter. If it
is a quick release, please refer to the “Quick release adjustment” chapter.
WARNING ! The sloping geometry of COMMENCAL HT frames requires specific
seatpost insertion. To maintain the reliability of the frame, the seatpost must be
inserted at least 12cm below the clamp. If the seat height is too low with this
correct technique then it is recommended to change the seat post to a longer
model.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
ADVICE! To ensure that your bike is not too big for you we suggest that you do the
following test.. With the saddle positioned at its lowest setting, you should be able
to sit on it with both feet on the floor. If you can’t do this then the bike is too big
and we recommend that you don’t ride.
