PART I
3.B - SADDLE POSITION
Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in
getting the most performance and comfort from your
bicycle. If the saddle position is not comfortable for
you, see your dealer.
The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:
1. Up and Down Adjustment
To check for correct saddle height (g. 3):
• Sit on the saddle;
• Place one heel on a pedal;
Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel
on it is in the down position and the crank arm is
parallel to the seat tube.
If your leg is not completely straight, your saddle
height needs to be adjusted. If your hips must rock
for the heel to reach the pedal, the saddle is too
high. If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel
on the pedal, the saddle is too low.
Figure 3. Saddle Position
Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal
riding position and to show you how to make this
adjustment. If you choose to make your own saddle
height adjustment:
• loosentheseatpostclamp
• raiseorlowertheseatpostintheseattube
• makesurethesaddleisstraightforeandaft
• re-tightentheseatpostclamptothe
recommended torque (See manufacturer’s
instructions).
Once the saddle is at the correct height, make sure
that the seat post does not project from the frame
beyond its “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum
Extension” mark (g. 4).
NOTE: Some bicycles have a sight hole in the seat
tube, the purpose of which is to make it easy to see
whether the seat post is inserted in the seat tube far
enough to be safe. If your bicycle has such a sight
hole, use it instead of the “Minimum Insertion” or
“Maximum Extension” mark to make sure the seat
post is inserted in the seat tube far enough to be visible
through the sight hole.
If your bike has an interrupted seat tube, as is the
case on some suspension bikes, you must also make
sure that the seat post is far enough into the frame
so that you can touch it through the bottom of the
interrupted seat tube with the tip of your nger
without inserting your nger beyond its rst knuckle.
Also see NOTE above and g. 5).
WARNING
If your seat post is not inserted in the seat
tube as described in B.1 above, the seat
post may break, which could cause you to
lose control and fall.
