Figure 5. Interrupted Seat Tube
2. Front and Back Adjustment
The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to help
you get the optimal position on the bike. 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 front and back
adjustment, make sure that the clamp mechanism is
clamping on the straight part of the saddle rails and is
not touching the curved part of the rails, and that you
are using the recommended torque on the clamping
fastener(s) (See manufacturer’s instructions).
3. Saddle Angle Adjustment
Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some
riders like the saddle nose angled up or down just a
little. Your dealer can adjust saddle angle or teach you
how to do it.
If you choose to make your own saddle angle
adjustment and you have a single bolt saddle clamp
on your seat post, it is critical that you loosen the
clamp bolt suciently to allow any serrations on the
mechanism to disengage before changing the saddle’s
angle, and then that the serrations fully re-engage
before you tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended
torque (See manufacturer’s instructions).
NOTE: If your bicycle is equipped with a suspension
seat post, periodically ask your dealer to check it. Ask
your dealer for recommended service intervals for
your suspension seat post.
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial
eect on performance and comfort. To nd your best
saddle position, make only one adjustment at a time.
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.
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque.
Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform.
Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue.
Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the
bolt, causing you to lose control and fall.
WARNING
After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the
saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened
before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post
binder can cause damage to the seat post, or can
cause you to lose control and fall.
A correctly tightened saddle adjusting mechanism
will allow no saddle movement in any direction.
Periodically check to make sure that the saddle
adjusting mechanism is properly tightened.
