Adjust Seat Height
• Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque to prevent serious
injury or death. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform.
Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either condition
can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt and result in a crash. See
Tightening Torque (p. 19).
• ALWAYS insert seat post past the minimum insertion point
marked on the seat post. A seat post that is positioned too high
can damage the bike and can cause you to lose control and crash.
Correct seat adjustment is an important factor in getting the most
performance and comfort from your bicycle. If the seat position is
not comfortable for you, you may want to go to your local bicycle
shop for assistance.
To achieve correct seat height:
• Sit on the seat;
• 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 not completely straight, your seat height needs to be
adjusted. If your hips must rock for your heel to reach the pedal,
the seat is too high. If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel on
the pedal, the seat is too low.
