4.1.2 Saddle adjustment
You can find our selection of saddle forms
under point
2.9
.
Saddle height
The height of the saddle can be adjusted
on the frame saddle tube (
A
) by pulling the
saddle post in or out. In order to adjust the
height, please loosen the clamp (
B
) and bring the saddle into the required
height. Align the saddle and tighten the clamp (
B
) so tightly that the sadd-
le support no longer twists. The saddle height is to be re-set based on the
inseam length. Here any contractures of the knees must be taken into con-
sideration. The saddle height should be inspected when the user is sitting
on the saddle. The leg extension should not total 0°. In the upper position
of the pedal, the knee flexion should not be more than 90°. Should it not be
possible to achieved this setting through the saddle height, it is possible to
undertake further settings through crank shortening (see
point 5.8 - 5.10
).
Adjusting the saddle horizontally
Every saddle (except for the unicycle saddle) can be minimally adjusted
horizontally. To do this, loosen the nuts (
D
)
with a size 13 wrench and push the calliper
block (
C
) forwards or backwards on the seat
stays.
Adjusting the saddle with t-saddle post ho-
rizontally
In order to check the horizontal saddle positi-
on, turn the pedal crank horizontally forwards
and put the foot (while the rider is sitting on the
saddle) onto the pedal. Once the lower leg is
vertical, the saddle position is correct. You can
also loosen the two nuts (
D
) under the saddle
using a size 13 wrench, push the saddle to the
rear or forwards and re-tighten the nuts.
During adjustment, the saddle post may not be pul-
led out over the respective marking, as in this case
sufficient clamping cannot be guaranteed. The mar
-
kings are in part designed differently.
After each adjustment, please retighten all screw connections!
