CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Set the height of your saddle (seat) with your seatpost
in its fully extended position. Using a 5mm Allen key
loosen the seatpost clamp and adjust the seatpost to
the correct height. A good base measurement is to
stand next to your bike in your riding shoes, putting
your hand against the top of your hip bone
(A)
. The
palm of your hand should be level with the top of the
saddle. Adjust as appropriate, then tighten the seat
clamp to 4Nm. Do not over tighten this bolt as it may
affect the performance of the seatpost. Note: You may
have to slightly readjust the saddle height once you
have set up your suspension correctly.
Your bike comes supplied with a water bottle cage.
Undo the two 3mm bolts on the downtube of your bike
and fit the cage
(B)
. Tighten to 3Nm.
The ideal tire pressure setting is determined by four
main factors: rider weight, type of terrain, design/
construction of tire and the desired balance of comfort
and traction. The pressures here are a suggested
starting point and can typically range +/- 5psi. Front:
26psi, rear: 29psi. It is always a good idea to inspect
your tires for tears and punctures before and after
every ride.
