Options – Backrest adjustment
Backrest adjustment
(7.74.1)
When testing the seat, ensure that
the cranks turn freely above the
thighs, even when travelling round
a curve. (Test in freewheel, going
backwards, if necessary, adjust the
seat cushion thickness). Set the
distance to the handbar assembly,
so that when turning the crank, the
arms stretch or move comfortably.
You can achieve optimum perfor-
mance by exploiting the adjustment
possibilities of the back and the bot-
tom bracket, and in doing so, obtain the best positi-
on for you.
The holes in the frame allow rough adjustments to
be made to the distance between the back and the
crank (X dimensions) in 5 cm increments. The addi-
tional holes in the frame permit finer adjustments to
the X-dimension and the height of the back.
Continuous adjustment of the
back angle is possible ...
It is possible to continuously adjust
the backrest lengthways, in height
as well as change the angle, by
loosening the screws (1 to 6). After
any adjustment work, ensure that
all screws are tight (see page on
torque).
The height of the crank can also be
adjusted. Slacken the screw
connection of the bottom bracket
and screw it back again at the desired height.
CAUTION!
After adjusting, tighten up all screw connections
securely. (See page on torque)
Fold-out back.
In this option, the lower part of the backrest is fixed
with a small quick-release axle. By actuating this
axle, it can be pulled out and the backrest can be
folded backwards.
To refit, follow this procedure in reverse order.
When refitting, ensure that it is completely released.
Options – Removable fork
Removable fork
(7.74.2)
Removable forks make the bike
easier to transport. This option
enables you to separate the fork
from the frame.
After getting out of the bike,
slacken the screw connection bet-
ween the fork and the frame, using
the lever located underneath the
bike. After slackening this connec-
tion, remove the connecting bolts accessible on the
sides. Now the fork and frame are separate and can
be stored as individual components.
To fit them back together, follow the same procedu-
re in reverse.

CAUTION!
Ensure that the connecting bolts are completely
re-inserted up to the head. Check the connec-
tion carefully and ensure that the screw connec-
tion is tight.
The removable fork with X-Link is an
additional aid for easier transfer.
Slacken the connection between the fra-
me and the bike by releasing the locking
lever on the frame (1). Then push the fork
forwards to its fullest extent until stand is
completely out (2). For easier transfer, the
seat surface is raised approx. 10 cm and
the distance between the fork and the
seat approx. 15 cm greater.
You can now carry out the transfer.
The released stand also permits transfer
with the fork removed.
Remove the connecting bolt between the fork and
the frame. Now you can remove the fork and put it
to one side to carry out the transfer.
To refit, follow this procedure in reverse order.
As soon as you have reconnected
the fork and the frame using the
connecting bolt, and are sitting in
the bike, operate the crank briefly
as if you were about to set off.
Once the stand is no longer effec-
tive and the bike is ready to move,
you must check that the connec-
tion is tight.
To do this, raise the stand up so
that it locks into its mounting. You
will hear the locking mechanism lock
into place.
Options – Adjustable rear wheel axle
Adjustable rear wheel axle
(7.74.3)
The complete axle adapter can be rotated
through 180º by slackening the connecting
screws. This allows you to use 20" or 26"
rear wheels as desired, without changing
the driving geometry of the bike.
As the axle is clamped in the axle adapter,
the track of the rear wheels can also be
adjusted by slackening the clamp connec-
tion.
After slackening the clamp connection, the axle can
be turned. Turn the axle sufficiently to ensure that
the distance of the rear wheels (middle to middle) is
identical at the front and back. Then tighten up all
the screws again.
