Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position and to show you how to
make this adjustment. If you choose to make your own saddle height adjustment:
• loosen the seat post clamp
• raise or lower the seat post in the seat tube
• make sure the saddle is straight fore and aft
• re-tighten the seat post clamp to the recommended torque (Appendix D or the
manufacturer’s instructions).
Once the saddle is at the correct height, make sure that
the seat post does not project from the frame beyond its
“Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark (fig. 4).
NOTE:
Some bicycles have a sight hole in the seat tube, the
purpose of which is to make it easy to see whether the seat
post is inserted in the seat tube far enough to be safe. If your
bicycle has such a sight hole, use it instead of the “Minimum
Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark to make sure the
seat post is inserted in the seat tube far enough to be visible
through the sight hole.
WARNING: If your seat post is not
inserted in the seat tube as described in B.1 above,
the seat post may break, which could cause you to
lose control and fall.
2. Front and back adjustment. The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to help you get the
optimal position on the bike. Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position
and to show you how to make this adjustment. If you choose to make your own front and back
adjustment, make sure that the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part of the saddle
rails and is not touching the curved part of the rails, and that you are using the recommended
torque on the clamping fastener(s) (Appendix D or the manufacturer’s instructions).
3. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders like the
saddle nose angled up or down just a little.Your dealer can adjust saddle angle or teach you
how to do it. If you choose to make your own saddle angle adjustment and you have a single
bolt saddle clamp on your seat post, it is critical that you loosen the clamp bolt sufficiently to
allow any serrations on the mechanism to disengage before changing the saddle’s angle, and
then that the serrations fully re-engage before you tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended
torque (Appendix D or the manufacturer’s instructions).
