WARNING: When making saddle angle adjustments with a single bolt saddle clamp, always check to make
sure that the serrations on the mating surfaces of the clamp are not worn. Worn serrations on the clamp can
allow the saddle to move, causing you to lose control and fall.
Note: If your bicycle is equipped with a suspension seat post, the suspension mechanism may require perio-
dic service or maintenance. Ask your dealer for recommended service intervals for your suspension seat post.
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on performance and comfort. To find your best saddle
position, make only one adjustment at a time.
If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and fore-and-aft position, your saddle is still uncomfortable, you
may need a different saddle design.
Saddles, like people, come in many different shapes, sizes and resilience. Your dealer can help you select a saddle
which, when correctly adjusted for your body and riding style, will be comfortable.

Your bike is equipped either with a “threadless” stem, which clamps on to the outside of
the steerer tube, or with a “quill” stem, which clamps inside the steerer tube by way of
an expanding binder bolt. If you aren’t absolutely sure which type of stem your bike has,
ask your dealer.
If your bike has a “threadless” stem (fig. 6) your dealer may be able to change handlebar
height by moving height adjustment spacers from below the stem to above the stem, or
vice versa. Otherwise, you’ll have to get a stem of different length or rise. Consult your
dealer. Do not attempt to do this yourself, as it requires special knowledge.
If your bike has a “quill” stem (fig. 7) you can ask your dealer to adjust the handlebar
height a bit by adjusting stem height.
A quill stem has an etched or stamped mark on its shaft which designates the stem’s “Minimum Insertion” or
“Maximum Extension”. This mark must not be visible above the headset.
WARNING: A quill stem’s Minimum Insertion Mark must not be visible above the top of the headset. If the
stem is extended beyond the Minimum Insertion Mark the stem may break or damage the fork’s steerer tube,
which could cause you to lose control and fall.
Some bicycles are equipped with an adjustable angle stem. If your bicycle has an adjustable angle stem, ask your
dealer to show you how to adjust it. Do not attempt to make the adjustment yourself, as changing stem angle may
also require adjustments to the bicycle’s controls.
