5.0 MAINTENANCE
5.1 THE SEAT
The seat as received on new Lightning Bicycles is fairly tight.
After an initial break-in period of riding, the seat will loosen up due
to stretching of the material. The seat back should be tightened by
taking the slack out of the string that runs along the sides.
CAUTION:
It is possible to wear a hole in the seat back, if it
becomes loose enough to contact the rear tire.
The foam padding in the bottom of the seat is easily
removable for washing the bike or any other reason.
5.1.1 SEAT ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The angle of the seat back can also be adjusted to better suit
your riding style. We recommend the seat be kept more upright
when you are first learning how to ride, as it is easier to balance.
Later on, the seat can be reclined backward for less wind resistance,
or perhaps improved comfort. However, be aware that visibility
and controllability are reduced somewhat with the seat reclined.
To adjust the seat back angle (ref. Fig. 1-1):
A) Slightly loosen the four plastic seat quick release clamps and
the seat stay clamp bolts.
B) Adjust the seat to the desired angle.
C) Retighten the seat stay clamp bolts and seat quick release
clamps.
After adjustment, the cranks may have to be moved slightly,
since adjusting the seat angle also moves your legs forward or
backwards. Finally,
BE SURE THE SEAT MESH IS TIGHT , to
prevent the seat mesh from contacting the rear tire while riding.
