1.
Open the quick release lever by swinging the lever open and outwards fully .
2.
Move the seat up and down by sliding the seat post in or out of the seat tube. Set the desired seat height.
NOTICE:
Ensure the seat post and seat are properly adjusted before riding. DO NOT raise the seat post beyond the minimum insertion marking etched into
the
seat post tube. If the seat post projects from the frame beyond these markings, the seat post or frame may break, which could cause a rider to lose control
and fall. Ensure the minimum insertion markings on the seat post are inside the seat tube of the frame.
3.
After tightening the adjustment nut (opposite the quick release lever) on the seat post quick release properly, close the quick release lever fully so it looks
like the image below and the seat cannot move up, down, to the left, or right.
Before using the bike, always check to ensure all latches, levers, and quick releases are properly secured and undamaged. Check that they are correctly secured before
every ride and after every time the bike is left unsupervised, even for a short time. Otherwise, the handlebar stem and/or seat post may come loose and can result in
loss of control, damage to the bike/property, serious injury, or death.
Adjusting the Seat Position and Angle
1.
Use a 13 mm wrench to loosen the seat adjustment bolt underneath the seat on the clamp positioned immediately underneath the seat, above the rear wheel.
2.
Once the bolt and clamp are adequately loose, rotate the front of the seat up or down to adjust the angle of the seat; a seat position horizontal to flat ground is
desirable for most riders. Move the seat backwards or forwards within the white limit markings on the seat rail, which show the minimum and maximum horizontal
movement allowed for this component. Do not exceed these limits.
3.
While holding the seat in the desired position, use a 13 mm wrench to tighten the seat adjustment bolt securely.
NOTICE:
Prior to first use, be sure to tighten the seat clamp via the seat adjustment bolt properly. A loose seat clamp or seat post adjustment bolt can cause
bike/property damage, loss of control, a fall, serious injury or death. Periodically check to make sure that the seat clamp is properly tightened.
Adjusting the Suspension Fork
the suspension fork can move up and down, which can make riding on a rough road or trail smoother and more comfortable.
the preload adjustment knobs, l
ocated on the top of both sides of the suspension fork. To soften the ride, subtract resistance by turning the preload adjustment knob
anticlockwise, in the direction of the small on the knob. To make the suspension stiffer when going over bumps, add resistance by turning the preload adjustment knob
clockwise, in the direction of the small “+' on the knob.
