ADJUSTING THE HANDLEBARS
• Open the quick release at the stem.
• Press the pin and adjust the stem to the
desired height. The pin has to engage again
into one of the holes.
ADJUSTING THE RIDING POSITION
ADJUSTING REACH AND SETTING
THE SADDLE ANGLE
The distance between the handlebar grips
and the saddle (reach), and the angle of the
saddle, are important factors when it comes
to how much you’re leaning forwards, and
hence for your riding comfort and perfor-
mance. The reach can be adjusted over a
short distance using the saddle rails, by slid-
ing the saddle forward or backward on the
seatpost clamp. This will also aect pedaling:
if the saddle is all the way back, you’ll be
pedaling more “from behind”, and vice versa.
The geometry of the Birdy was designed so
that for normal use, the saddle is positioned
as far forwards as possible. This minimizes
folded size. The saddle should in general be
set dead level.
• Release seatpost clamp bolt A, turning at
most three or four turns anticlockwise.
No more, or the whole assembly can fall
apart.
Do not ride if the stem is ex-
tended beyond the ‘MINIMUM
INSERTION’ mark!
Do not ride if the quick release of
the adjustable stem is not tight-
ened or the pin is not engaged in
one of the holes.
Never open the quick release
while riding!
