Adjusting the bike to the user
When you purchased the bike, you already decided
on a frame size that suits you.
To adjust the seat height, open the quick release of
the seat post clamp.
You can now adjust the seat post height.
When adjusting screw connections, please be sure
to never exceed the designated tightening torques!
For the tightening torques, consult the chapter
“Recommended tightening torques” on p. 78 and/or
the instructions of the part manufacturers and/or on
their website.
Adjusting the seat height
For optimal transfer of power to the pedal, you should
adjust the seat height to suit your leg length. For this,
place your foot on the pedal so that the ball of your
foot is over the pedal axle. Your leg should not be
completely extended in the lowest position. Now place
your heel on the pedal in the lowest position. Your leg
should now be completely extended and your hip
should be straight.
When making adjustments, wear the shoes you use
when cycling or special cycling shoes.
You can also make further adjustments to your bike in
addition to the frame size in order to better suit your
body posture. Adjustments include changing the seat
and stem position as well as other adjustments to your
cockpit.
After every adjustment, be absolutely sure to perform
a brief check as described in Chapter “Every time
before you use your bike” on p. 14 and check your
bike in an area removed from public traffic. In this way,
you can safely check all your settings again.
Once you have determined the correct height of
your seat post, straighten the seat by inspecting
it in relation to the top tube.
Clamp the seat post in place with your quick release.
You can securely clamp the seat in place without
applying excessive manual force. If applicable, make
fine adjustments to the quick clamping forces using
the adjusting nut on the quick release.
The chapter “Handling the quick releases” on p. 23
offers additional information on the quick release
clamp.
Check whether your seat is secure by attempting to
turn it.
Risk of damage to the frame and seat post.
Do not excessively tighten the quick release on the
seat tube clamp.
With small frame sizes, make sure that there is no risk
of your foot coming into contact with the front wheel
when pedalling and steering.
A bike specialist can help you quickly adjust your bike
to accommodate your needs.
The seat post should easily slide into the seat tube
when the quick release on the seat post clamp is
open.
Only use grease or special carbon paste when
mounting the seat post in carbon frames and
components.
The minimum insertion depth of the seat post
is indicated either on the seat post or the frame.
If the frame and seat post indicate different
insertion depths, use the larger of the two. With
frames where the seat tube extends over the
top tube, the seat post must always end under
the top tube or the seat stay.
Observe the minimum
insertion depth for the seat post.
Risk of damage associated with unstable or firm
seat post in the seat tube.
Never forcefully loosen
a seat post which is firmly clamped into the tube.
Consult your bike specialist.
