Adjust Seat Height
WARNING!
• Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque to prevent
serious injury or death. Bolts that are too tight can stretch
and deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue.
Either condition can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt
and result in a crash. See “Tightening Torque” on page 27.
• ALWAYS insert seat post past the minimum insertion point
marked on the seat post. A seat post that is positioned too
high can damage the bike and can cause you to lose
control and crash.
Correct seat adjustment is an important factor in getting the
most performance and comfort from your bicycle. If the seat
position is not comfortable for you, you may want to go to your
local bicycle shop for assistance.
To achieve correct seat height:
• Sit on the seat;
• Place one heel on a pedal;
• Rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the
down position and the crank arm is parallel to the seat tube.
If your leg is not completely straight, your seat height needs to
be adjusted. If your hips must rock for your heel to r each the
pedal, the seat is too high. If your leg is bent at the knee with
your heel on the pedal,the seat is too low.
