RIDING POSITION

Seat Height

In order to obtain the most comfortable riding position and offer the

best possible pedaling efficiency, the seat height should be set

correctly in relation to the rider’s leg length. The correct saddle height

should not allow leg strain from over-extension, and the hips should

not rock from side to side when pedaling. While sitting on the bicycle

with one pedal at its lowest point, place the ball of your foot on that

pedal. The correct saddle height will allow the knee to be slightly bent

in this position. If the rider then places the heel of that foot on the

pedal, the leg should be almost straight.

Under no circumstances should the seat post project

from the frame beyond its “Minimum Insertion” or

“Maximum Extension” mark. If your seat post projects

from the frame beyond these markings, the seat post

or frame may break, which could cause you to lose

control and fall. Prior to your first ride, be sure to

tighten the seat clamp properly. A loose seat clamp

or seat post binder can cause damage to the bicycle

or can cause you to lose control and fall. Periodically

check to make sure that the seat clamp is properly

tightened.

Reach

To obtain maximum comfort, the rider should not overextend his or her

reach when riding.

To adjust this distance, the position of the seat can be altered in

relation to the seat post. (Refer to page 98 on how to adjust the seat

clamp.)
