STEP 2. PEDALS
Your RANGE bike is not supplied with pedals. When tting your own pedals ensure that
you use grease on the axles and that the pedals are on the correct side. There should be
an indicator on the axle to distinguish between left and right. Tighten up the pedals to
30 – 34Nm torque with the appropriate tool for your pedals.
STEP 3. SADDLE HEIGHT
Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in getting the most performance and
comfort from your bicycle. To check for correct saddle height please follow these steps.
You may nd it easier to support yourself against a wall or table on one side.
• sit on the saddle
• place one heel on a pedal
• rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the down position and the
crank arm is parallel to the seat tube.
If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel on the pedal, the saddle is too low. If your
hips must rock for the heel to reach the pedal, the saddle is too high.
To adjust the seatpost height:
Loosen the seat post clamp using a 4mm hex key. Raise or lower the seatpost as
required. Re-tighten the seat post clamp to 5Nm and check the saddle height by sitting
on the bike. Repeat the above steps if necessary.
Once the saddle is at the correct height, make sure that the seat post does not project
from the frame beyond its “Minimum Insertion” mark on the seatpost (Image 3). This
line must not be visible. If the RANGE bike is ridden with the seat post extended beyond
this mark, catastrophic frame failure will occur.
