AreAS oF tHe SeAt:
return (red):
Returns area from shoulder up thru neck to head to a
vertical enough position to prevent neck fatigue.
base (blue):
Needs to be at correct angle to have some “front to back
cup”.
Center (green):
Supports middle of back.
the following is very important:
As you drop the seat angle back more of the weight is supported
by the green area and pressure that is left on the blue (butt) area is
evenly cupped from front to back.

All Volae bicycles are designed to provide proper clearance
between the chain and the frame when used with cassette cog
and chainring sizes as indicated in tables at right. Modifications to the
idlers and/or idler positions may cause the chain to damage the frame,
which can result in frame failure causing an accident, injury or death.
Any changes to the idlers or idler positions, other than replacing an idler
with one of the same type and size, void your warranty with regard to
damage caused by said changes. If you change either the idler or idler
position you are solely responsible for determining that the changes do
not cause the chain to damage the frame in any way as a result of riding
in any and all gear combinations.

boom ADJuStment
Use the following guidelines
(Fig. 3-14)
for the initial boom
adjustment. Once the boom is adjusted you should be able to
fine tune the fit with seat adjustments. Remember that chain
length must be adjusted when adjusting the boom.
Carbon Seat:
1. Set the boom so the lower seat attachment skewer is
over Buick Hole #2.
2. Ideal fore/aft weight distribution is achieved, for most
riders, when the lower seat attachment skewer is close to
Buick Hole #2 position.
Mesh Seat:
1. Set the boom so the lower seat attachment skewer is
over Buick Hole #3.
2. Ideal fore/aft weight distribution is achieved, for most
riders, when the lower seat attachment skewer is close to
Buick Hole #3 position.
