3.2.3 Adjusting the saddle height: Quick-release skewer
*
DANGER
The quick-release skewer must be correctly closed before you set off.
Otherwise the seatpost can loosen or fracture – if that happens while
you are riding the bike you could fall off, resulting in serious injuries.
1. Open the quick-release skewer by
swinging the lever by 180˚. You will
now usually be able to see the word
‘OPEN’ on the inside of the lever.
2. Close the quick-release skewer by
swinging the lever by 180˚. You will
now usually be able to see the word
‘CLOSE’ on the outside of the lever.

For 1. Quick-release skewer open
For 2. Quick-release skewer closed
DANGER
It should be so hard to close the quick-release skewer that you need
to use the balls of your hands (120 N: corresponds to a weight force
of 12 kg). You should have the mark of the lever imprinted on your
hand. Otherwise, it could open when you are cycling, which could
lead to the seatpost coming loose and causing you to fall. If you close
the quick-release skewer too tightly, the seatpost can break; if this
happens when you are cycling, you could fall.
