SADDLE HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT
Proper horizontal adjustment of the saddle is very important in avoiding injury to the
knees. Sit on the saddle and move the pedals until the crank arms are in horizontal
position.
Using your forward most leg as a marker, your kneecap should be directly above the
center of the pedal so that a straight line is created between knee and center of the
pedal (see the dotted line in image below). To adjust the horizontal position of the
saddle, first dismount the indoor cycle. Next, loosen the rear adjustment knob, slide
the saddle forward or backward as required, and then retighten the knob.

HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
Begin with the top of the handlebar at relatively the same height or just slightly
higher than the top of the saddle (dotted horizontal line A in the drawing below)
and at a neutral fore/aft position (see dotted vertical line B in drawing below). If
your knees touch the handlebars or if you experience back discomfort while
pedalling for extended periods of time, the height of the handlebar can be
adjusted. First, dismount the indoor cycle. Next, turn the front adjustment knob
counter clockwise, slide the handlebar post up or down, and then retighten the
adjustment knob. Changing your hand position can change the angle of your
back, neck, and arms. To minimize the stress on your muscles during your
workouts, change your hand position frequently.
