2 // TO RIDE IN SAFETY

For your safety and to guarantee optimal long term functioning of your Moustache bike, you
can establish a regular maintenance calendar with your retailer.
This will be determined based on how frequently you ride, the distance you ride, your riding
style, as well as the terrain you ride on (see the sections 5.4 WEAR PARTS AND INSPECTION
FREQUENCIES and 7 // SERVICE RECORD).
Your Moustache retailer is the best placed to advise you and carry out all maintenance
operations, but if you prefer to do some yourself, you will find some advice in the following
pages.

Each Moustache is unique, and you are too! It is therefore essential to adapt your Moustache
to your morphology for optimal comfort.
3.1 SADDLE HEIGHT
The first set up to carry out on your Moustache is the saddle height.
Once again, your local retailer can help you do this. You must not
hesitate to adjust this if you do not find the correct height immediately.
We have a good tip to help you find the correct setting quickly: position
the crank in line with the seat tube, without being lopsided on the saddle
and place your heel on the pedal with your leg almost straight. (Figure 3).
N.B. : On the Lundi 26 model, the position is a little lowe, the leg can
stay slightly bent.
To adjust the height you need to open the seat clamp's quick release
or unscrew the screw on the seat clamp with a 4 or 5 mm allen key.
Once the height is adjusted, close the quick release lever. If necessary
adjust the tightness level on the opposite nut so that the lever tightens around midway through
closing.
In the case of a seat clamp with screw, tighten the screw to the recommended torque level that
you will find in the section 4.9 TIGHTENING TORQUE VALUES or marked next to the screw.
WARNING!
For seat clamps with screws, you should never go over the recommended
torque level, this could damage your frame.
NEVER GO OVER THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT LEVEL ON YOUR
SEAT POST MARKED BY THE ENGRAVING « INSERT MINI »
OR « STOP ». THIS IS FOR YOUR SAFETY, AS WELL AS THE
RELIABILITY OF YOUR BIKE. (See Figure 4).
If you cannot obtain the right saddle height without going past
this limit, contact your local retailer.
