Once the saddle is at the correct
height, make sure that the seatpost
does not project from the frame
beyond its “Minimum Insertion” or
“Maximum Extension” mark [Fig. 4].
If your bike is a Supreme Operator,
Operator, Entourage DL or Entourage,
it has an interrupted seat tube.
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
[see Fig. 5].
WARNING: If your seat
post projects from the frame
beyond the Minimum
Insertion or Maximum
Extension mark [see Fig.
4] or you cannot touch the
bottom of the seat post
through the bottom of the
interrupted seat tube with
the tip of your nger without
inserting your nger beyond
its rst knuckle [see Fig. 5],
the seat post may break,
which could cause you to lose
control and fall.
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)
(Appendix D or the manufacturer’s instructions).
3. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizon-
tal 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 suf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
(Appendix D or the manufacturer’s instructions).
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.
NOTE:
If your bicycle is equipped with a suspension seat
post, the suspension mechanism may require periodic
