Adjusting the saddle to the correct height

The correct saddle height depends on the length of

your legs. When pedaling, the ball of your foot should

be positioned above the center of the pedal axle. With

your feet in this position you should not be able to

stretch your legs completely straight at the lowest

point, otherwise your pedaling will become awkward

(a)

Check the height of your saddle with ﬂat-soled shoes.

This is best done with suitable cycling shoes.

Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at

its lowest point. Your leg should be fully stretched and

your hips should remain horizontal.

To adjust the saddle height loosen the quick-release

lever (see chapter “How to use quick-releases and

thru axles“) or the binder bolt of the seat post clamp at

the top of the seat tube

(b)

. The latter requires suitable

tools, e.g. an Allen key, with which you turn the bolt

two to three turns counterclockwise. Now you can per-

form the vertical adjustment of the seat post.

Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far. The mark

on the seat post (max., min., stop or the like) should

always remain within the seat tube. Always grease the

surface of an aluminum or titanium seat post that is

inserted into a seat tube made of aluminum, titanium

or steel. Do not grease carbon seat posts and/or carbon

seat tubes in the clamping area! Use special carbon

assembly paste instead.

Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle

nose and the bottom bracket or the top tube as a refer-

ence point

(c)

Clamp the seat post tight again by closing the quick-re-

lease, as described in the chapter “How to use quick-re-

leases and thru axles” or by tightening the seat post

binder bolts to the torque value indicated on the clamp.

Verify in between that the seat post is sufﬁciently tight

by taking hold of the saddle at both ends and then try-

ing to rotate the seat post inside the seat tube. If it does

rotate gently retighten the binder bolt of the seat post

clamp by half a turn and do the check again.

Does the leg stretch test now produce the correct re-

sult? Check by moving your foot and pedal to the low-

est point. When the ball of your foot is exactly above

the pedal center in the ideal pedaling position your

knee should be slightly bent. If it is, you have adjusted

the saddle height correctly.

Check whether you can touch the ground safely while

sitting on the saddle by stretching your feet to the ﬂoor

(d)

. If you cannot you should lower the saddle a little

until you can, at least to begin with.
