BICYCLE ADJUSTMENTS
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
You can adjust the up and down tilt of your seat as well as the forward and back position
by loosening the seatpost hardware at the bottom of your seat. (See Figure 49.) Be
careful not to loosen them all the way so that the nut comes off on either side. Loosen
enough to make the adjustments, and re-tighten the nuts. To raise or lower your seat,
use the quick release lever (see Figure 50), an adjustable or Allen wrench on the seat
clamp (see Figure 50) – depending on the style of clamp your bike comes with. Make
sure the minimum insertion marks on the seatpost are completely covered (see
Figure 51). Close the quick release lever, or tighten the nut on your seat clamp until it
is secure, and the seat will not move side-to-side or sink with the rider seated (see
Figure 52 & 53). To ensure that your seat is adjusted to the proper height for you, adjust
the saddle so that it's just below your hips. Retighten the seat post clamp and mount
your bike. At the bottom of your pedal stroke, your knee should have a slight bend in it,
with the ball of your foot centered over the pedal. The saddle should also always be
parallel with the top tube.
WARNING The seatpost must be inserted far enough so that the minimum
insertion marks cannot be seen.
