In order to obtain the most comfortable riding position and
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 shoud not rock from side to side
when pedalling. While sitting on the bicycle with one pedal
at its lowest point, place the ball of the 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” mark. If your seat post projects from
the frame beyond these markings, the seatpost or
frame may break which could cause the rider to
lose control and fall. Prior to each ride
ensure the saddle tightening mechanism are
properly adjusted. A loose saddle clamp or seat
post binder can cause damage to the cycle and
can cause the rider to lose control and fall.
Maximum comfort is usually obtained when the handlebar
height is equal to the height of the seat. You may wish to try
The stem’s “Minimum Insertion” mark must not
be visible above the top of the headset. If the
stem is extended beyond this mark, the stem
may break or damage the fork’s steerer tube,
which could cause you to lose control and fall.
Failure to properly tighten the stem binder bolt,
the handlebar binder bolt, or the bar end
extension clamping bolts may compromise the
steering action which could cause you to lose
control and fall. Place the front wheel of the
bicycle between your legs and attempt to twist
the handlebar/stem assembly using a reasonable amount of force. If you can
twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to
the stem, or turn the bar and extensions in relation to the handlebar, you must
tighten the appropriate bolts accordingly.
