Correct t is an essential element of bicycling safety, performan-
ce and comfort. Making the adjustments to your bicycle which
result in correct t for your body and riding conditions requires
experience, skill and special tools. Always have your dealer or local bike
shop make the adjustments on your bicycle; or, if you have the experien-
ce, skill and tools, have your dealer or local bike shop check your work
before riding.
Caution
A — Saddle position
Saddle screws are appropriately fastened when torque force is equal to
9.8 Nm. Please be considerate of this specication and use the proper
tools to achieve this torque. If necessary, see your local bike mechanic.
Warning
Correct saddle adjustment is an important
factor in getting the most performance and
comfort from your Gi Fly. If the saddle po-
sition is not comfortable for you, see your
dealer or local bike shop. Alternatively, you
can attempt to t your bicycle:
• Sit on the saddle.
• Place one of your feet on the appropriate
pedal (see Img.1).
• 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 (see
Img.1).
If your leg is not completely straight, your
saddle height needs to be adjusted. If your
hips must rock for the heel to reach the
pedal, the saddle is too high. If your leg is
bent at the knee with your heel on the
pedal, the saddle is too low.
