yond the maximum length marking . Oth -
erwise the seat post may buckle or
break . If you require a longer seat post
to reach the correct sitting position, talk
to your FLYER specialist retailer .
Never ride with a seat post extended fur -
ther than the maximum marker as this
could result in serious falls and injury .
Children and persons who are not confi-
dent cyclists should be able to touch the
ground with the tips of both feet . Other -
wise, when stopping they run the risk of
falling and suffering serious injury.
Seat position
The horizontal position of the seat can and should
be set too .
You are in the optimal riding position when your
front knee is directly above the pedal while the
crank is horizontally aligned .
The horizontal adjustment of the seat may only
be performed within the markers and within the
range specified by the manufacturer.
Test whether the seat post and the seat
are firmly attached before you ride off.
To do this, hold the seat at the front and
back and attempt to turn it . It should not
move .
Height of the handlebars
Once the seat has been firmly and comfortably
positioned, the handlebars must be adjusted to
your needs .
An effective starting position for relaxed riding is
offered by a seating position in which the upper
body and arm form a 90° angle.
In order to change the height of the handlebars,
the height of the stem must be adjusted .
Allow your FLYER specialist retailer to
adjust the settings of the handlebars and
the stem . This can be done in various
ways depending on the model .
ST OP
Adjusting the stem
For all stems, please read the instruc -
tions supplied by the manufacturer . Only
allow FLYER specialists to work on the
handlebars and stem .
Changing the position of the stem also
changes the position of the handlebars .
You should always be able to safely
reach and use grips and controls . Han -
dles with a pronounced wing shape may
need to be repositioned .
Make sure that all cables and leads have
a sufficient length to allow for all possible
steering movements when changing the
handlebar and stem position .
13.3 Setting up the brake levers
The brake levers should be set up so
that your hands can safely and comfort -
ably apply them as a straight extension
of your arms .
Check before your first ride which brake
lever brakes which wheel .
Some brake models allow adjustment of the grip
width so that brake levers can also be safely
gripped by smaller hands .
Always have brake adjustments performed by a
FLYER specialist retailer as they concern safe -
ty-related components.
