SADDLE POSITION — SEAT POST HEIGHT
• Although there are many ways to determine correct seat height,
the goal is to efficiently find a starting point. Once a rider begins
to cycle, further adjustments may need to be made
• Start with the rider standing close to and beside the saddle
• To begin, first establish the height of the saddle
- Landmark the top of the saddle so that it is level with the
iliac crest
- The iliac crest is the highest point of the hip bone
• Next, place the handlebars slightly above the saddle height
and keep the gear lever at the highest gear
• Ask the rider to sit on the saddle and place the ball of each
foot over the center of the pedals. Because the cages are
made for various foot sizes, refrain from pushing the toes
to the end of the cage. If cycling shoes with SPD-compatible
clips are worn, clip into the pedals.
• Release the heavy resistance and, with a low to moderate
gear, have the rider turn the pedals at a slow pace
• The hands should remain in a comfortable position on
the handlebars
• Note seat height in relationship to knee bend
• As the knee extends into a straight line, there should be
a bend at the knee
• A knee extension of approximately 35° (the angle of
deviation from a straight leg) is optimal for most riders
