adjust the saddle height to approxi-
mately match your size. At the same
time, adjust the front end of the sadd-
le to point in the direction of travel.
Close the quick-release lever. Please
note: There must be a noticeable
resistance when closing the quick-re-
lease lever.
• Make sure that the seat post does is
not pulled out of the seat tube beyond
the maximum extension point. The
mark indicating this point may not be
visible, if this is the case, the seat tube
or seat post may break while riding.
• Before you take your place in the
saddle, make sure that the seat post is
securely fixed. Stand next to your bike
and try to twist the seat post. If the
seat post rotates, increase the tension
on the quick-releases until the seat
post is secure.
• Turn the crank until the pedal is loca-
ted at its lowest position.
• Take your place in the saddle and put
your heel on the pedal. The saddle is
correctly adjusted when your leg is
stretched straight in this position.
• Check the stretch of your leg by
setting the ball of your foot on the pe-
dal. Your leg should now be slightly
bent.
