PART I
(continued from previous page...)
If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height,
tilt and fore-and-aft position, your saddle is still
uncomfortable, you may need a dierent saddle
design. Saddles, like people, come in many dierent
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.
WARNING
Some people have claimed that extended
riding with a saddle which is incorrectly
adjusted or which does not support your
pelvic area correctly can cause short-term
or long-term injury to nerves and blood
vessels, or even impotence.
If your saddle causes you pain, numbness or
other discomfort, listen to your body and stop
riding until you see your dealer about saddle
adjustment or a dierent saddle.
3.C - Handlebar Height And Angle
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 arent
absolutely sure which type of stem your bike has, ask
your dealer.
If your bike has a “threadless” stem (g 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 dierent 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 (g 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.
