2. Front and Back Adjustment. The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to help you get the
optimal position on the bike. Ask your Dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position
and to show you how to make this adjustment. If you choose to make your own front and back
adjustment, make sure that the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part of the saddle
rails and is not touching the curved part of the rails, and that you are using the recommended
torque on the clamping fastener(s) (Appendix C or the manufacturer's instructions).
3. Saddle Angle Adjustment. Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders like the saddle
nose angled up or down just a little. Your Dealer can adjust saddle angle or teach you how to do it. If you
choose to make your own saddle angle adjustment and you have a single bolt saddle clamp on your
seatpost, it is critical that you loosen the clamp bolt sufficiently to allow any serrations on the mechanism
to disengage before changing the saddle's angle, and then that the serrations fully re-engage before you
tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended torque (Appendix C or the manufacturer's instructions).
WARNING: When making saddle angle adjustments with a single bolt saddle clamp, always
check to make sure that the serrations on the mating surfaces of the clamp are not worn. Worn
serrations on the clamp can allow the saddle to move, causing you to lose control and fall.
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are too tight can stretch
and deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead
to a sudden failure of the bolt, causing you to lose control and fall.
INFO: If your bicycle is equipped with a suspension seatpost, the suspension
mechanism may require periodic service or maintenance. Ask your Dealer for
recommended service intervals for your suspension seatpost.
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on performance and
comfort. To find your best saddle position, make only one adjustment at a time.
WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is
properly seated and tightened before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seatpost clamp can
cause damage to the seatpost, or can cause you to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened
saddle adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement in any direction. Periodically
check to make sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened.
If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and fore-and-aft position, your saddle
is still uncomfortable, you may need a different saddle design. Saddles come in many
different shapes, sizes and resilience. Your Dealer can help you select a saddle which,
when correctly adjusted for your body and riding style, will be comfortable.
WARNING: Some people have claimed that extended riding with a saddle which is incorrectly adjusted
or which does not support your pelvic area correctly can cause short-term or long-term injury to nerves and
blood vessels, or even impotence. If your saddle causes you pain, numbness or other discomfort, listen
to your body and stop riding until you see your Dealer about saddle adjustment or a different saddle.
4.C. Handlebar Height and Angle
There are a number of different types of stems with which your bike may be equipped. Tern primarily
uses an adjustable Andros Stem or a Syntace VRO Stem which allow for height and angle adjustment.
However, your bike may be equipped with a "threadless" stem, which clamps on to the outside of
the steerer tube. If you aren't absolutely sure which type of stem your bike has, ask your Dealer.
The Andros Stem (fig. 10) allows you to rotate the Andros Stem and handlebar to
a desired height and angle by opening and closing the Andros lever.
