Saddle
For maximum comfort ensure that the saddle is both correctly
adjusted and secure. Once set up correctly, the height of the saddle
can be adjusted without tools. Loosen the lever at the top of the
frame below the saddle to raise or lower the saddle. Once the saddle
is at the required height, secure it by tightening the lever. Tighten or
loosen the nut on the lever if required.
Do not attempt to adjust the lower bolt and nut fitting on the circular
slot below the saddle. This is not intended for adjustment.
User Safety
Cycle Helmets
Although there is no legal requirement to wear a cycle helmet, we
recommend that you do so for your safety. Wearing a cycle helmet
has been proven to reduce the likelihood of head injuries.
Professional Maintenance
We recommend that you have your cycle serviced by a professional
cycle engineer at least once a year to ensure ongoing safe
performance. Also, if you are unsure as to how to carry out a
particular assembly procedure or adjustment, we recommend that
you consult your local cycle shop.
Troubleshooting
1 – Brakes not working effectively
Check the distance between the brake blocks and the wheel rim.
Check that the blocks are parallel with the wheel rim.
Check for any wear on the brake blocks
Fine tuning to the brakes can be performed by the adjusters
between the brake lever on the handlebars and the brake cable.
Major adjustments are made at the brake blocks and you will
need the appropriate tools. See brake assembly instructions.
