POSITION AND SETUP
This section outlines a step-by-step guide to ensuring
the user is set up correctly.
The correct setup sequence is:
1. Seat height
2. Seat forward and back position
3. Handlebar height
4. Handlebar forward and back position
5. Pedal strap adjustments and SPD usage
6. Brake lever adjustments
•
Stand next to the saddle facing forward towards
the handlebars.
•
Correct operation of seat and handlebar pop-pins:
Turn the pop-pin knob counterclockwise and pull
out on the pin to release it from its current preset
location. Raise or lower to the desired height, then
gently release the pop-pin. Raise or lower the seat
slightly; if necessary until the pop-pin engages a
preset hole. Turn the pop-pin knob clockwise to
secure. Be sure to tighten fi rmly.

Secure the pop pin before mounting the bike. Make sure the pop-pin
engages a preset hole and turn the knob clockwise to secure.
•
Sit on the bike and bring the pedals in a vertical position, roughly 12 and 6
o’clock

With the foot clipped in or in the pedal straps, the knee should be slightly

a. If anterior knee discomfort is felt, raise the seat so that the knee angle is
15-20° from bottom of the pedal stroke

Achilles, lower the seat so that the knee angle is 25-35° from bottom of
the pedal stroke

Always dismount the cycle before making
adjustments to the saddle.
