8 adjusting and servicing
your bike
you can modify your bike yourself.
only make these adjustments yourself if
you have the appropriate technical know-
ledge and experience and the right tools
for the job.
8.1 adjusting the adjustable stem
(optional)
•
Many bikes are fitted with an adjustable
stem, the height and angle of which can be
adjusted. Only have the adjustment made in
a specialist workshop!
8.2

adjust saddle position

Your saddle will be secured with one or two
clamping bolts.
To adjust it, you need a hexagonal socket of
the right size and a torque wrench.
1. To adjust the horizontal position or incli-
nation of your saddle:
•
Loosen the clamping bolt(s) a few turns until
the saddle can be turned easily and/or the
inclination angle adjusted.
•
Move the saddle to the desired position.
•
For seat clamps with only one fixing screw:
always tighten the seat clamp with the
correct, prescribed torque. Make sure that
all loosened parts join together with the
correct alignment (see Chapter 3.3.).
•
For seat clamps with two fixing screws:
tighten one screw just for a quarter or a half
turn then continue with the other screw
in the same way. Do this as long as you´ve
reached the right torque (see Chapter 3.3.).
•
Please observe the specified tightening
torques in table 3.3.
8.3

adjust saddle height

Risk of Personal injury and Material
damage!
a saddle set too high for children who
are not yet able to cycle safely without
assistance, could result in dangerous
driving conditions, falls, accidents, and/or
property damage.
•
Adjust the seat height in such a way that the
child's feet can touch the ground when in a
sitting position.
•
On a gripper clamp with bolt, you need a
hexagonal socket and a torque wrench of
the correct size. For a quick-release clamp,
please see Chapter 7.8.
1. Loosen the clamp as described in
Chapter 11.2.
2. Move the saddle and saddle stem to the
desired position. Please note the inst-
ructions regarding saddle stem insertion
distance in Chapter 11.2.

3. Clamp the saddle stem as described in
Chapter 11.2.
8.4 adjust suspension forks
1. Please read the instructions for adjusting
your suspension forks in the suspension
fork manufacturer's parts instructions.
2. if your forks have a fixed adjustment
mechanism as shown in the illustration,
please read the related instructions in
the suspension fork manufacturer's parts
instructions.
Suspension forks with elastomers and/
or steel springs are only suitable for one
overall weight range (= weight of rider
+ any baggage). This weight range is
usually within 20 kg.
only the forks pre-tensioning can be
adjusted by compressing the springs by
means of an adjuster screw. This merely
changes the initial breakaway torque of
the forks.
That is, with greater pre-tensioning, the
forks only deflect at higher operating
forces.
if the forks are pre-tensioned too much,
suspension travel is accordingly less.
The weight range for which the suspen-
sion elements in your forks are suited
can be found in the fork manufacturer's
instructions and/or you can consult your
dealer.
if your total weight is outside this range,
have your dealer fit suspension elements
matching your weight.
