• Now you can adjust the saddle height to the desired position. Be sure

not to pull out the seat post too far. The mark on the seat post (MIN,

MAX, STOP, END etc.) should always remain within the seat tube. In

the case of frames with long seat tubes which continue beyond the

top tube, the seat post should at least reach below the height of the

top tube or the rear stay! This can mean a minimum insertion length

of 100 millimetres (4.5 in.) or more.

Make sure the part of the seat post inside the seat tube is always well

greased. Exception: frames and seat posts made of carbon fibre re-

inforced plastic; in this case the seat post must be mounted without

grease. Use special carbon assembly paste.

If the seat post does not move easily inside the seat tube, ask your

STEVENS dealer for advice. Do not use brute force.

• Clamp the seat post again by turning the seat post binder bolt clock-

wise. You do not need much strength in your hands to clamp the seat

post sufficiently tight. Otherwise the seat post does not match the

frame.

• Check the tight clamping of the seat post by taking hold of the saddle

at both ends and then trying to rotate the seat post inside the seat

tube. If it does not move, the seat post is firmly seated.

Adjusting the Bicycle to the Rider

• Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the

bottom bracket or top tube as a reference point.

• Does the leg stretch test now produce the right result? Check by mov-

ing your foot and pedal to the lowest point. When the ball of your

foot is exactly above the pedal centre in the ideal pedalling position,

your knee should be slightly bent. If it is, you have adjusted the sad-

dle height correctly.

• Check whether you can balance safely on your bike while sitting on

the saddle by stretching your feet to the floor. If not, you should low-

er the saddle a little.

Danger:

Never ride your bicycle with

the seat post drawn out

beyond the limit, maximum,

or stop mark! In case of

non-observance the seat

post might break or cause

severe damage to the frame.

Setting the stem to a lower

position can only add to your

safety!

Note:

With children who are still

growing it is advisable to

check the seating position

every two to three months.
