The indoor studio cycle can be adjusted for maximum
comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions
below describe one approach to adjusting the indoor
studio cycle; you may choose to adjust the indoor stu-
dio cycle differently. Note: It may be helpful to have an-
other person check your position while you adjust the
indoor studio cycle.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
Sit on the saddle and position your feet on the pedals,
with the balls of your feet directly above the spindles of
the pedals (see the drawing below). Adjust the pedal
straps so the toe clips are snug but not too tight.
Note: The pedals feature toe clips on one surface and
SPD® cleats on the opposite surface. Use the SPD®
cleats with compatible cycling shoes rather than the
toe clips if you desire.
SADDLE ADJUSTMENT
Sit on the saddle and slowly pedal. When the pedals
are in the lowest position (see the drawing above),
your knees should be slightly bent. To avoid hyperex-
tending your knees, make sure that your legs are
not completely straight. To adjust the height of the
saddle, dismount the indoor studio cycle. Next, turn the
rear adjustment knob counterclockwise one half of a
turn, pull the adjustment knob, slide the saddle post up
or down, and then release the adjustment knob. Move
the saddle post up or down slightly to ensure that the
knob is engaged in one of the adjustment holes in the
saddle post. Then, retighten the knob.
Next, adjust the horizontal position of the saddle. Sit on
the saddle and move the pedals until the crank arms
are horizontal (see the drawing below). In this position,
your forward kneecap should be directly above the
spindle of the pedal. To adjust the horizontal position of
the saddle, dismount the indoor studio cycle. Next,
loosen the rear adjustment handle, slide the saddle for-
ward or backward, and then retighten the handle.
For additional horizontal saddle adjustment, loosen the
bolt located beneath the saddle, slide the saddle for-
ward or backward, and then retighten the bolt.
Next, adjust the angle of the saddle. Begin with a level
saddle. If you experience discomfort while pedaling for
extended periods of time, try tilting the front of the sad-
dle slightly upward or downward. To adjust the angle of
the saddle, dismount the indoor studio cycle. Next,
loosen the bolt located beneath the saddle, adjust the
angle of the saddle, and then retighten the bolt.
