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. 

  Lift the saddle up so that the top of the saddle is level to top of thigh as 

shown in image.

  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

  Place the heel of the foot on the pedal nearest the fl oor – the leg should be 

straight BUT not locked

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

bent and the ankle should be able to drop down

  Make adjustments if necessary to establish correct height:

    a.

  If anterior knee discomfort is felt, raise the seat so that the knee angle is 

15-20° from bottom of the pedal stroke

    b.  

If posterior knee discomfort is felt, including pain in the calf and/or 
Achilles, lower the seat so that the knee angle is 25-35° from bottom of 
the pedal stroke

•  

WARNING:

 

Always dismount the cycle before making

adjustments to the saddle. 

  

WARNING: 

Do not lift the seat or handlebar height adjustment beyond 

the “STOP” mark

Pedal backwards; there should be no excessive rocking of the hips and locking 
of the knees.

SEAT HEIGHT

Proper seat height ensures maximum 
effi

  ciency and comfort while reducing the risk 

of injury. The following steps will ensure that 
correct seat height  is established:
