Operation Manual

• Move the saddle forward or backward as
required. Often only a light bump to the
saddle is needed. Retighten the bolts, turn-
ing them clockwise.
• Adjust the saddle angle and tighten bolt A.
Observe the recommended torque setting
of 9-12 Nm.
• When you’ve tightened everything, check
whether the saddle tilts, by pushing alter-
nately on the front and back.
ADJUSTING THE REACH OF THE
BRAKE LEVERS
The distance between brake levers and
handlebar grips is adjustable. The levers
can be brought closer to the bars, mak-
ing them easier to use for riders with
small hands. The lever position where
the brakes start to “bite” also needs to be
adjusted for finger length.
• Check when the brake pads hit the rim. If
this “bite point” comes after just a short
movement of the levers, you’ll have to
adjust the cable in order to alter the lever
reach (see page 31). Otherwise, the brakes
may rub on the rims after the reach
adjustment. If, however, the brakes only
bite after the levers are halfway to the
bars, you have some “play” with which to
adjust lever reach.
• There’s a small adjuster screw just near
where the cable goes into the lever hous-
ing (see arrow on diagram). Screw this
adjuster in, and observe how the lever
position changes.
• When you’ve reached the desired posi-
tion, you must check that there’s still
enough available motion so that there’s
a little lever movement before the
brakes “bite” (see page 31).
When you change saddles,
check that the saddle rails are
designed for a 7mm clamp. Other
types of saddle rails may cause
failure of the seat clamp and lead
to an accident.
You shouldn’t be able to pull the
levers all the way to the handle-
bar! Maximum braking power
should be reached before this!
