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.
Seat height
Inordertotransferthepedalforceeffectivelyto
thepedals,youmustsetyourseattotheappro-
priateheight.
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
isnotthecase,dismount,adjusttheseatinthe
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themaximumlengthmarking.Oth-
erwise the seat post may buckle or
break.Ifyourequirealongerseatpost
to reach the correct sitting position, talk
toyourFLYERspecialistretailer.
Neverridewithaseatpostextendedfur-
ther than the maximum marker as this
couldresultinseriousfallsandinjury.
Childrenandpersonswhoarenotcon-
dent cyclists should be able to touch the
groundwiththetipsofbothfeet.Other-
wise, when stopping they run the risk of
fallingandsufferingseriousinjury.
Seat position
Thehorizontalpositionoftheseatcanandshould
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
rangespeciedbythemanufacturer.
Test whether the seat post and the seat
arermlyattachedbeforeyourideoff.
To do this, hold the seat at the front and
backandattempttoturnit.Itshouldnot
move.
Heightofthehandlebars
Once the seat has been rmly and comfortably
positioned, the handlebars must be adjusted to
yourneeds.
Aneffectivestartingpositionforrelaxedridingis
offered by a seating position in which the upper
bodyandarmforma90°angle.
Inordertochangetheheightofthehandlebars,
theheightofthestemmustbeadjusted.
