NOTE!
I
The manufacturers of saddles deliver their products with detailed manuals. Read
them carefully before adjusting the position of your saddle. If you are in doubt or if
you have any questions, contact your dealer.
Adjustment of saddle position and tilt
With patent seat posts (d) one or two bolts fix the clamping mechanism, which
controls the tilt and the horizontal position of the saddle. Some seat posts have two
bolts side-by-side.
Release the bolt(s) at the top of the seat post. Release the bolt(s) two to three turns
anticlockwise at the most, otherwise the whole assembly can come apart. Move the
saddle forth or back, as desired. You may have to give the saddle a light blow to make
it move.
Observe the markings on the saddle rail. Make sure the seat of the saddle remains
horizontal (e) as you retighten the bolt(s). Your BERGAMONT bike should stand on
level ground while you adjust the saddle.
Having found your preferred position, make sure both clamp halves fit snugly around
the saddle rails before tightening the bolt(s) to the correct torque value as prescribed
by the seat post manufacturer.
Retighten the bolt(s) with a torque wrench according to the manuals of the manufac-
turer. After fastening the saddle, check whether it resists tilting by bringing your
weight to bear on it once with your hands at either end of the saddle (f).
DANGER!
G
Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can fail. Risk of accident!
DANGER!
G
Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a month according to the values
indicated directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the component
manufacturers.
Saddle adjustment – fore-to-aft position and horizontal tilt
The inclination of your upper body (a), and hence your riding comfort and pedalling
power, are also influenced by the distance between the grips of the handlebars
and the saddle. This distance can be altered slightly by changing the position of
the saddle rails in the seat post clamp. However, this also influences your pedaling.
Whether the saddle is positioned more to the front or to the back of the bike will alter
how rearward the pedalling position of your legs is.
Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the saddle rail,
i.e. on the straight part of the rail, never in the curved sections.
You need to have the saddle horizontal in order to pedal in a relaxed manner. If it is
tilted, you will constantly have to lean against the handlebars to prevent yourself from
slipping off the saddle.
DANGER!
G
The bolted connections of the seat post have to be tightened to the prescribed
torque values (b). Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque
values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter “Recommended torque
settings for your BERGAMONT bike”, directly on the components and/or in the manuals
of the component manufacturers.
DANGER!
G
Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the saddle rail
and not in the curved section of the saddle rails (c). Otherwise the saddle rail can
fail! Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a month according to the prescribed
values.
DANGER!
G
The setting range of the saddle is very small. Replacing the stem allows you to
make far bigger adjustments to the rider’s fore-to-aft position, as stems come in
different lengths. In doing so you may achieve differences of more than ten centimetres.
In this case you usually would have to adjust the length of the cables – a job best left to
your BERGAMONT dealer!
