Setting The Saddle; Special Cases - Moustache Lundi 26 Manuel D'utilisation

3 // RIDING POSITION

3.2 SETTING THE SADDLE

We have equipped our bikes with ergonomic saddles, but a careful set up is required to ensure
optimal comfort. In this section you will find advice for an angle and set back of your saddle,
that's adjusted to the type of riding you do. Then, you will find the process to follow to correctly
set up your saddle depending on the type of seat post your Moustache has. Finally, at the end
of this section, you will find advice and settings for suspension and telescopic seat posts.
3.2.1 Advice
It is generally advised to position the saddle horizontally for a mixed usage. On the Lundi 26
models, the torso position is straighter and the pelvis lightly tilted backwards. We advise you
to set the saddle slightly inclined towards the back, in order to optimize your comfort and the
riding position. For an all-terrain use, it is advised to set the saddle slightly inclined towards
the front (see Figure 5 ).
The saddle set back should be adjusted for the length of the femur. This is a more complex
setting which may require the help of your retailer. In general an intermediate setback is
adequate. Its setting should be carried out during the setting of saddle angle. Respect the
level of torque advised for the screw of the saddle chassis. This will be indicated on it and
varies from one model to another.

A new saddle can cause slight discomfort that will diminish with time. If you do not find the
right position, ask your retailer for advice.
3.2.2 Setting the angle and setback of your saddle
Firstly, you need to check the seat post that is on your Moustache. This is very easy: you
simply need to check the number of screws that attach your saddle chassis to the seat post.
There are two possibilities:
there is only one screw as in Figure 6, in this case go to the section Only one fitting block. If
you see that there are two screws, go to the section Two fitting blocks as in Figure 7.

Only one fitting bolt
If you have only found one fitting block, you are in the right section. To adjust the angle of your
saddle you need to carry out the following process:
1. Loosen the screw that holds the saddle and seat post
using a 6mm allen key as in Figure 8 to obtain enough
play to easily move the saddle.
2. Adjust the angle and setback of the saddle as suits
you.
3. Tighten the screw, ensuring that it does not surpass
the maximum torque level indicated next to the screw.
4. Check that the screw is correctly in place and that
there is no play.
Two fitting bolts
If you have found two fitting blocks, you are in the right section. To adjust the angle of your
saddle you need to carry out the following process:
1. Loosen the two screws that hold the saddle and seat post using a 5mm allen key
(see Figure 9) until the saddle can move easily.
2. Adjust the angle and setback of the saddle as suits you.
3. Tighten each screw a half-turn, alternating between the two, without going over the
maximum torque level that is indicated next to them.
4. Check that the saddle is correctly in place and that there is no play.
