Adjustment - SWOOP CITY 28 WOMAN Anleitung

SADDLE AND SEAT POSITION
INSPECTION
The seat fixing bolt and the seat post binder bolt should be checked
for tightness and adjustment every month. On removing the seat post
from the frame, you will notice a mark about 65mm up from the
bottom with the words "max. height" or "minimum insertion".
Warning: To avoid damage to either the seat post, the frame or possibly
the rider, the minimum insertion mark must be inside the frame.
LUBRICATION
Remove the seat post from the frame and wipe off any grease, rust or
dirt. Then apply a thin film of new grease to the part that will be
inserted into the frame. Re-insert, adjust and tighten the seat post in the
frame.

ADJUSTMENT

The seat can be adjusted in height, angle and distance from the
handlebars to suit the individual rider.
Seat Clamp Nut
Standard
Seat Post
Seat angle is a matter of personal preference but the most
comfortable position will usually be found when the top of the
seat is almost parallel to the ground, or slightly raised at the front
The seat can also be adjusted by sliding it forward or back along
the mounting rails to obtain the most comfortable reach to the
handlebars.
When fitting position the seat post into the clamp under the seat
and place it in the frame without tightening. Adjust it to the
desired angle and position and tighten the clamping mechanism.
There are two types of seat clamps commonly in use. The
most common employs a steel clamp with hexagonal nuts on
either side to tighten. The other type, known as a micro-
adjustable clamp, uses a single vertically mounted Allen head
fixing bolt to tighten. After fixing the seat to the desired position
on the post, adjust the height to the required level and tighten the
binder bolt.
Note that the type of binder bolt may be either a hexagonal bolt,
an Allen head bolt or a quick release mechanism. The operation of
a seat post quick release mechanism is the same as for quick
release hubs. Test the security by grasping the seat and trying
to turn it sideways. If it moves, you will need to further tighten
the binder bolt.
Note: Remember that the minimum insertion mark must
remain inside the frame assembly.
