11.2 Settinguptheseatingposition
Theseat,handlebarsandstemmustbeadjusted
to your body mass and the desired sitting position
inorderto useyourFLYER safely andcomfort-
ably.
OnlyallowyourFLYERspecialistretailer
to work on the handlebars and stem.
These are components which are crucial
for your safety, so incorrect work and
tools in this area of the bicycle could
leadtoseriousfalls.
The seat and stem can be attached with
screwconnectionsorquick-releasefas-
teners.
 Always tighten the screw con-
nections
 with the correct torque. This
can be found in the enclosed technical
dataonyourFLYER.

FindtheidealpositionbysittingontheFLYERat
the vertical crank position and placing the heel of
yourbarefootontothepedalinitslowestposition.
Now the bottom leg should be stretched. If this

requireddirectionandtryagain.
Ensure that the quick-release fastener is com

pletely
closedaftertheadjustmentprocess.
There are markings on the seat post
which show how far it can be pulled out
oftheframe.Neverpulltheseatpostbe-
yond

erwise the seat post may buckle or
break.
Ifyourequirealongerseatpost
to reach the correct sitting position, talk

resultinseriousfallsandinjury.
Childrenandpersonswhoarenotcon-

besettoo.
Youareintheoptimalridingpositionwhenyour
front knee is directly above the pedal while the
crankishorizontallyaligned.
The horizontal adjustment of the seat may only
be performed within the markers and within the
