Saddle position:
Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in getting the best performance and comfort from your bicycle. The
saddle can be adjusted in three directions:
1. Up and down adjustment.
2. Front and back adjustment.
3. Seat angle/level adjustment.
To check for correct saddle height (up and down) adjustment (see fig. 3):
Sit on the saddle.
Place one heel on a pedal.
Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on, is in the down position and the crank arm is vertical.
If your leg is completely straight (knee is locked) when your foot is flat on the centre of the pedal, your saddle height
is too high and needs to be adjusted. If your hips rock for the heel to reach the pedal whilst riding, the saddle is too
high and needs to be adjusted.
Adjust the height via the quick release mechanism located at the top of the seat tube (fig. 1). With your leg fully
extended and your foot on the pedal whilst the crank is in the vertical position (six o'clock), there should only be a
"slight" bending at the knee (thus when riding, preventing lockout of the knee), whilst your foot is flat on the centre
of the pedal. Excessive bending at the knee will likely mean that your saddle height is now too low.
WARNING: When setting your saddle height, take note of the 'Minimum Insertion or Maximum Extension mark (see
fig. 4) located on the seat post (see Fig.1). Adjusting saddle height beyond these markers is dangerous and could
lead to the breaking of the seat post, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
Adjust front and back adjustment, along with seat angle adjustment, to help you get the optimal position on the
bicycle. This can be achieved by loosening the two bolts located under the saddle (see Fig. 1), which attach the
saddle to the seat post. Once loosened, adjust the saddle and re-tighten the bolts accordingly.
