Once the saddle is at the correct height, make sure that the
seatpost does not project from the frame beyond its “Minimum
Insertion” mark (see Img.3.A).
If the minimum and maximum insertions of your seatpost are not
respected (see Img.3), then the seatpost, binder, or even the frame
may break, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
ii. Front and back adjustment
The saddle can be adjusted forward or backward to help you achieve optimal position on the bike.
Ask your dealer or local bike shop to set the saddle for your optimal riding position and to show
you how to make this adjustment. If you make your own front and back adjustment, make sure
that the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part of the saddle rails and is not touching
the curved part of the rails, and that you are using the recommended torque on the clamping
fastener(s).
Warning
Warning
When making saddle angle adjustments with a single bolt saddle
clamp, always check to make sure that the serrations on the mating
surfaces of the clamp are not worn. Worn serrations on the clamp
can allow the saddle to move, causing you to lose control and fall.
Warning
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are too
tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and
fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt, cau-
sing you to lose control and fall.
