Adjusting the Seat
A seat at the correct height leads to comfortable, even pedal strokes.
Place your heel on the pedal. When your foot is at the lowest point while pedaling, your knee to be slightly
bent, not locked out completely straight or curved. If your knee is bent you need to increase the height,
adjusting in small increments each time, and if your heel loses contact with the pedal then you need to lower
the saddle.
The optimal knee angle is 30 degrees. Raise saddle height 1mm for each degree above 30 degrees, or
lower saddle height 1mm for each degree below 30 degrees.
Adjusting the Seat Height
1.Open the quick-release lever at the base of the seat post by hand.
2.Ensure the seatpost is inserted into the frame and over the minimum insert mark then gently slide the
seatpost up or down to reach your ideal height.
3.Press the quick-release lever back down and adjust to its locked position and check that it cannot move.
Basic hand tightness will be enough
