Saddle Nose
Seatpost:
The saddle can be adjusted in height by loosening the bolt on the seatclamp and sliding the
seatpost up or down (
R7
). A good rule of thumb is to adjust the height such that when you
sit in the saddle and put your heels on the pedals your knee should be straight. Ensure the
minimum insertion length indication on the Seatpost Shaft (MINIMUM INSERTION) is below
the top of seat tube (
R8
). Tighten the seatpost clamp to 5 Nm (
R7
).

Going on an adventure? If you decide to use frame bags, saddle bags or any other bags that
are strapped on the bike please make sure you protect the frame/fork/seatpost/handlebar
with a frame protector or just simply a packing tape. Make sure to cover all areas where the
bags can touch the bicycle.
Bike Packing
For each ride make sure there’s no play in the headset, the handlebar is firm, the hub thru-
axles are tight, the brakes are working properly, cables don’t rub frame/fork and the chain is
clean and lubed. Always pay attention if you hear or feel something new as your bike might
need some love and care.
To check if there is play in the headset you lock the front brake with one hand, place the
fingers of your other hand where the headset cup and frame meet, move the bike back
and forth and check if you can feel any play. If there is play you loosen the two stem clamp
bolts with a 4 mm hex/allen key (don’t remove them), tighten the top cap with a 6 mm hex/
allen key until there is no play (don’t overtighten), make sure the stem is aligned to the front
wheel and tighten the two stem clamp bolts again (5 Nm).
In case you crash please examine frame, fork, seatpost and handlebar for any visible cracks
as well as making sure everything is aligned and tightened properly.
