3.4.2 Position:
The angle of the saddle should be almost parallel with the ground. Again, as with saddle height,
there is some subtle variation (1 - 2 degrees), but it is never extreme. If the rise is too steep, this
will cause numbness and discomfort, especially on longer distance rides. A negative slope will
result in the rider constantly slipping forward, forcing more pressure on the palms and increased
neck and back pain. This is uncomfortable and is to be avoided. A saddle that is almost parallel
to the ground is ideal, as it supports the weight of the rider without causing numbness or
putting excess pressure on the hands.
Loosen hex bolt underneath the seat and adjust angle and/or length as necessary
3.5 Brake Adjustment
Your bike is equipped with front and rear disc brakes. Properly adjusted brakes are an essential thing.
You don't want them to fail at the last minute.
Take note that the rear brake is on the left side of the handlebar, and the front brake is on the right side
of the handlebar.
Please use extra caution to keep your fingers away from the rotating disc brake rotor.
The disc brake rotor is sharp enough to inflict severe injury to your fingers if
caught within the openings of moving disc brake rotor also the rotor becomes hot after
usage therefore let it cool before performing any post ride adjustments.
Note: front and rear brakes are identical therefore following instructions are related for
both sides
