Adjustments before a ride
Check the following before each ride
– All screws, wheel nuts or quick release are tight
– The brakes function
– The air pressure of the tyres is sufficient
– The lighting system is intact
– The bell is OK.
Seat and handle bar:
You bicycle is assembled by the dealer and is in a road-worthy
condition. The handle bar and seat position is adjusted to your
height. While adjusting the seat and handle bar height, pay
attention to the minimum insertion depth marked on the handle
stem shaft and seat support. Never pull out the handle bar or
seat above the marking!
Seat:
The seat can be adjusted in three directions:
height, inclination and distance from handle bar (Figures 7, 8):
Figure 7
Figure 8
Height:
– Loosen the seat clamping bolts (Figure 7 Pos. 1) or quick
release (Figure 8 Pos. 1)
– Move the seat support in or out
– Tighten the clamp after making the adjustment.
You have adjusted the seat height according to your body size,
so that, while sitting on the seat, the tips of your toes touch
the ground on both sides.
Caution! The seat support must remain clamped at
least up to the mark. Otherwise it might break,
leading to a fall! Leather seats can discolour clothes
when used initially under wet conditions. Frequent
re-adjustments of the seat can leave permanent
scratches on the surface of the seat support due to
the mechanical action. These damages fall under
normal wear and tear, and do not constitute a case
of materials defect liability.
Inclination of the seat and distance from handle bar
(Figures 7, 8):
– Loosen the nut of seat piston or inner hexagon bolt (2)
– Move seat forward or backward
– Incline the seat
– Tighten the nut or inner hexagon bolt
