Adjusting the bicycle to the rider
Clamping 
 Only clamp the seat post when the bicycle is 
stationary.
The seat post clamping lever is not marked with any 
lettering. You can tell whether it is open or closed from 
its shape. 
• To close it, push the seat post clamping lever as far as 
it will go into the seat post.
• To open it, pull the seat post clamping lever away from 
the seat post.
 Check the clamping force of the quick releases.

bicycle is stationary.
 Unfasten and adjust the designated screw 
connections, and clamp them with the maximum 
tightening torque for the clamping screws of the 
handlebars.
