MTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKING
•
Move the saddle to the desired position.
•
For seat clamps with only one xing screw:
Always tighten the seat clamp with the
right, prescribed torque. Make sure that
all loosened parts join together in correct
alignment (see Chapter 3.3.).
•
For seat clamps with two xing screws:
Tighten one screw just for a quarter or a half
turn then continue with the other screw
in the same way. Do this as long as you´ve
reached the right torque (see Chapter 3.3.).
•
Please notice specied tightening torques
from the table in 3.3.
8.3 Adjust saddle height
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
A saddle set too high for children who are
not yet able to cycle safely without as-
sistance, could cause accidents, injuries
and/or property damage.
•
Adjust the seats height in a way that the
soles of the riders feet can touch the ground
even with slightly bent legs when riding.
•
On a gripper clamp with bolt you need a
hexagonal socket and a torque wrench of
the correct size. For a quick-release clamp
please see Chapter 7.8.
1. Loosen the clamp as described in
Chapter 11.2.
2. Move the saddle and saddle stem to the
desired position. Please note the inst-
ructions regarding saddle stem insertion
distance in Chapter 11.2.
3. Clamp the saddle stem as described in
Chapter 11.2.
8.4 Adjust suspension forks
1. Please read the instructions for adjusting
your suspension forks from the suspen-
sion fork manufacturer‘s component
instructions.
2. If your forks have a xed adjustment
mechanism as shown in the illustration,
please read its instructions in the sus-
pension fork manufacturer‘s component
instructions.
Suspension forks with elastomers and/
or steel springs are only suitable for one
overall weight range (= weight of rider +
any luggage). This weight range is usually
within 20 kg.
Only the forks pre-tensioning can be
adjusted by compressing the springs by
means of an adjuster screw. This merely
changes the initial breakaway torque of
the forks.
That is, with greater pre-tensioning the
forks only deect at higher operating
forces.
If the forks are pre-tensioned too much
suspension travel is accordingly less.
The weight range for which the suspen-
sion elements in your forks are suited
can be found in the fork manufacturer‘s
instructions and/or you can consult your
dealer.
If your total weight is outside this range
have your dealer t suspension elements
matching your weight.
