8.5 ADJUSTING THE PEDAL STRAPS AND SEAT
ADJUSTING THE PEDAL STRAPS
The pedal straps are designed to fit your individual foot size and should be adjusted tight enough to keep your foot from slipping. The pedals include
spring loaded clips for easy adjustment. To tighten the strap, pull down the open end of the strap. To loosen the strap, push down on the top of the clip
and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap in place.
ADJUSTING THE R1X SEAT
While seated on the Matrix R1x Bike, an optimum position will allow movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in
the seat. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring loaded seat lever on the right side of the seat to make adjustments. Slide the seat forward or backward to
its desired location. Release the spring loaded seat lever and gently attempt to rock forward and backward to assure it is locked in place. Check the seat
distance again and re-adjust it if necessary. If the seat is wobbly or loose, tighten the seat roller brackets using the procedure outlined in Section 6.7
