17 ELITE EXERCYCLE ASSEMBLY MANUAL
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Having your bike seat adjusted to the right height is essential for a comfortable ride, efficient
pedalling and avoiding injury. There are 2 adjustments located on the seat post. The first is a
vertical height adjustment, the second is for horizontal seat position. Although there are many
methods and opinions on the optimal saddle setting, the following is a quick and easy method to
get started. Further adjustments can be made afterwards to optimise your position and comfort.
Saddle Height Adjustment
Place your heels on the bike pedals and pedal backward. Your legs should be fully extended with
your knees straight. If your hips rock from side to side while pedalling backward, the seat is too
high. Place the ball of your foot on the pedal. There should now be a slight bend in your knee
when the pedal is at its lowest point. This is a good starting point. Refer to examples below.
Seat Adjustment
Ensuring you have the most comfortable riding position whilst minimising joint strain is important.
Adjusting your seat is simple and can normally be done without needing to get off the bike.
Place your heel on one of the bike pedals and rotate to the furthest point on the pedal stroke (as
shown) You may need to remove the toe strap to do this. If the leg is still in the bent position, unlock
the seat mechanism and adjust to the fully extended position (Pic.1) – Lock the seat adjustment
mechanism in to place.
Moving your foot backwards, place your forefoot on to the pedal in the correct riding position.
This should allow for a natural bend in the knee, whilst providing a full 360 degree rotation. If you
experience the feeling of reaching for the pedal or sliding down the seat, you may need to make a
minor adjustment to the position. Before commencing your workout please reattach and adjust the
toe strap correctly to secure your foot firmly on the pedal.”
Note: - If you are using the exercycle for injury rehabilitation purposes i.e. Knee Replacements you may need to extend the
seat position further than normal to allow for any reduced joint mobility due to swelling and inflammation
— Whilst sitting on the seat, bring your left crank arm around and have your helper stop the crank when the pedal is at
three o’clock or parallel with the floor. For this measurement to be accurate, your shoes must be correctly positioned
on the pedals (the balls of your feet should be over the pedal axles).
— Holding this position, have your helper place the end of the plumb line on the front of your leg, at a point just below
the bony protrusion beneath the kneecap.
— The plumb line’s weight should hang over your shoe. Check again to ensure that the crank-arm and pedal are level.
By looking at the plumb line the knee should be in alignment with the centre spindle or axle of the pedal.
— Adjust the saddle to the correct position then tighten the locking pin.
