Handlebars
Adjusting the handlebars
With a fixed Ahead handlebar stem you can tilt the
handlebars by loosening the Allen bolt on the front. The
height of the handlebars can be adjusted by loosening
the Allen Bolts at the handlebar stem, and place Ahead
spacers or an Ahead extension pin.
Saddle position adjustment
By the saddle connection you can tilt the seat and
adjust it to front as well as to the back.
As a rule of thumb for determining the distance
between the handlebar and the saddle is that you
should be able to touch the handlebars with your fist
while you hold your elbow at the point of the saddle.
Note that this rule of thumb should be seen as a
guideline, because this setting is very personal. Note
also that a too big distance between the saddle and the
handlebars, often can be the cause of neck, back, and
shoulder complaints. We recommend that you adjust
the saddle and handlebars to your wishes together with
your dealer.
