Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom bracket
or top tube as a reference point (d). Clamp the seat post tight again by closing the
quick-release, as described in chapter “Using quick-releases” or by turning the seat
post binder bolts clockwise in half turns or better in steps of 0.5 Nm increments
starting at 3 Nm. You should not need much strength in your hands to clamp the seat
post sufficiently tight. Otherwise the seat post does not match the frame.
Verify in between that the seat post is sufficiently tight by taking hold of the saddle
at both ends and then trying to rotate the seat post inside the seat tube (e). If it does
rotate, gently retighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp by half a turn or better
by a quater turn or in steps of 0.5 Nm increments and do the check again.
Does the leg stretch test now produce the correct result? Check by moving your foot
and pedal to the lowest point. When the ball of your foot is exactly above the pedal
center in the ideal pedaling position, your knee should be slightly bent. If this is the
case, the saddle height is adjusted to the correct height.
Check whether you can touch the ground safely while sitting on the saddle by
stretching your feet to the floor. If not, you should lower the saddle until you can, at
least to begin with.
DANGER!
G
Never apply grease or oil into a seat tube of a frame made of carbon unless an alloy
sleeve is inside the frame. If you mount a carbon seat post, do not put any grease
on it, even if the frame is made of metal. Once greased, carbon components may never
again ensure reliable clamping! Use special carbon assembly paste instead (f).
DANGER!
G
Make sure not to overtighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp. Otherwise you
may damage the seat post or the frame. Risk of accident!
NOTE!
I
The seating position depends highly on how you want to use the BERGAMONT
bike. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer or your trainer for help. The advice given below
is suitable for typical BERGAMONT city, trekking and urban bikes.
NOTE!
I
If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your crotch, this
may be due to the saddle. Your BERGAMONT dealer has a very wide range of
saddles available and will be pleased to advise you.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT
The correct saddle height depends on the length of your legs. When pedalling, the
ball of your foot should be positioned above the center of the pedal axle. With your
feet in this position you should not be able to stretch your legs completely straight at
the lowest point (a), otherwise your pedalling will become awkward.
Check the height of your saddle with flat-soled shoes. This is best done with suitable
cycling shoes.
Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should
be fully stretched and your hips should remain horizontal.
To adjust the saddle height loosen the quick-release lever (see the chapter “Using
quick-releases“) or the binder bolt of the seat post clamp at the top of the seat tube
(b).
The latter requires suitable tools, e.g. an Allen key, with which you turn the bolt two
to three turns anticlockwise. Now you can perform the vertical adjustment of the seat
post.
Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far. The mark on the seat post (max., min.,
stop or the like) should always remain within the seat tube (c). Always grease the
surface of an aluminium or titanium seat post that is inserted into a seat tube made
of aluminium, titanium or steel. Do not grease carbon seat posts and/or carbon seat
tubes in the clamping area! Use special carbon assembly paste instead.
