The pedals
Press the central button and push the pedal towards the crank. To unfold,
gently nudge the pedal towards its natural position and, once in place, it will
stay locked, ready to pedal.
BICYCLE ADJUSTMENTS
The correct adjustment of the height of the saddle and the height of the
handlebar is necessary to use your Ossby comfortably. In this section we
detail the recommended settings to enjoy the bike.
The saddle - height:
- Loosen the saddle clamp to insert the seat post.
- Insert the seat post.
- Place the seat post at the desired height, but make sure that the minimum
mark is always hidden inside the frame, you should never attempt to ride
with this visible mark.
- Once placed, make sure to properly close the clamp.
- Check that the saddle is correctly locked in place.
- Check that the saddle is at the height necessary for you to fully stretch your
leg when the pedal is in its lowest position. If not, repeat the previous steps
again until you find the right position.
VERY IMPORTANT: FOR YOUR SAFETY, NEVER ALLOW THE MINIMUM
MARK ON THE SEAT TO BE OUTSIDE THE FRAME OF THE BICYCLE. BEFORE
EACH USE CHECK THAT THE LINE IS HIDDEN.
The saddle - inclination:
The nose of the saddle should be slightly elevated (between 0.5cm and 1cm).
Check regularly that the saddle is securely attached to the seat post.
Make sure the saddle is correctly aligned, parallel to the frame, to avoid
possible loss of control of the bike.
The handlebar:
In general, the handlebar should be aligned 1 or 2 cm below the height of
the saddle, although each user can find the position that is most
comfortable for them.
- Loosen the central screw of the stem.
- Raise the handlebar to the desired height.
- Tighten the central screw of the stem again making sure that the handlebar
is aligned with the wheel.
- Check that the handlebar has been completely fixed on the stem and that
there is no movement between the two parts.
