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 nd your best
saddle position, make only one adjustment at a time.
WARNING:
After any saddle adjustment, be sure that
the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened
before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp
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.
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.
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 different saddle.
C) HANDLEBAR HEIGHT AND ANGLE
Your bike is equipped either with a “threadless” stem (g.
6), which clamps on to the outside of the steerer tube, or
with a “quill” stem (g. 7), 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,
your dealer may be able to
change handlebar height
by moving height adjust-
ment spacers from below the
stem to above the stem, or
vice versa. Otherwise, you’ll
have to get a stem of differ-
ent 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, you can ask
your dealer to adjust the han-
dlebar 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.
WARNING: On some bicycles, changing the stem
or stem height can affect the tension of the front brake
cable, locking the front brake or creating excess cable
slack which can make the front brake inoperable. 13
