Adjusting the angle of the saddle
Most cyclists find it best to have the saddle set horizontally or inclined slightly
downwards at the front. Please use the seat angle you had with your old post.
The angle of inclination of the saddle that has been set can be seen on the angle
of inclination "ruler" markings on the side of seat post (Fig. A).
You must remove the seat post to re-set the angle of inclination of the saddle.
After removal of the post undo the stop screw by one or two turns. Now slide the
leaf springs to adjust the angle. Note when doing this how the marking on the
side of the seat post changes. If the front part slides downwards, the nose is
lowered further. Even small changes in the marking have a large effect on the
angle of inclination of the saddle. For tips on adjusting the saddle angle, see
page 64. Ensure that the seatpost clamp is only loosely fastened. (Fig. B).
