Adjusting saddle height.
This should be carried out using an 5 mm hex wrench. Unscrew the seat binder bolt,
set the saddle at a certain height, then re-tighten the bolt and sit on the bicycle (FIG.2).
Repeat until you find the best position. The tightening torque of the seat binder should
be around 12Nm.
WARNING: Never extend the seat post above the minimum insertion mark that
can be found on the lower part of the seat post!
Adjusting the rail saddle position.
This should be done using a 5mm or 6mm hex wrench. When you loosen this bolt(s), it is
possible to change the angle of the saddle and it’s fore and aft position (FIG.3). Try experi-
menting with various combinations. A general rule is that the saddle should be set more
or less in the central position, and should be tilted slightly to the rear (the nose should
be pointing up around 3 -5 degrees). This will put more body weight on the saddle and
take of some pressure from your hands. Tighten the bolts to the following torque: M5:
10Nm, M6: 12Nm.

MAINTENANCE AND PERIODICAL CHECKS
Take care of your bicycle, and you will enjoy it for a longer time. Also take some time to
periodically inspect the bicycle in more detail - this is important for your safety. Here is
some basic information. A good rust inhibitor should be applied to the inside of your
frame at least once a year. Regular cleaning will remove salt and other chemicals from
the surface of your bicycle minimising the likelihood of external corrosion. It is very im-
portant that paint chips and scratches get touched up as soon as possible with factory
touch-up paint or nail polish. Prior to painting, make sure that the surface is free of rust,
clean and dry. The frame does not require any lubrication with the exception of the in-
