Setting The Saddle - Moustache Lundi 27 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 27
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.
