Nirve Cruiser - Handlebar Height and Angle

Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt, causing you to lose
control and fall.
Note: If your bicycle is equipped with a suspension seat post, the
suspension mechanism may require periodic service or maintenance. Ask
your dealer for recommended service intervals for your suspension seat
post.
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on
performance and comfort. To nd your best saddle position, make only one
adjustment at a time.
WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle
adjusting mechanism is properly seated and tightened before riding.
A loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp can cause damage to the
seat post, or can cause you to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened
saddle adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement in any
direction. Periodically check to make sure that the saddle adjusting
mechanism is properly tightened.
If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and fore-and-aft position,
your saddle is still uncomfortable, you may need a different saddle design.
Saddles, like people, come in many different shapes, sizes and resilience. Your
dealer can help you select a saddle which, when correctly adjusted for your body
and riding style, will be comfortable.
WARNING: Some people have claimed that extended riding with a
saddle which is incorrectly adjusted or which does not support your
pelvic area correctly can cause short-term or long-term injury to
nerves and blood vessels, or even impotence. If your saddle causes you
pain, numbness or other discomfort, listen to your body and stop riding
until you see your dealer about saddle adjustment or a different saddle.

Your bike is equipped either with a “threadless”
stem, which clamps on to the outside of the steerer
tube, or with a “quill” stem, which clamps inside the
steerer tube by way of an expanding binder bolt. If
you aren’t absolutely sure which type of stem your
bike has, ask your dealer.
If your bike has a “threadless” stem (g. 6) your
dealer may be able to change handlebar height by
moving height adjustment spacers from below the
stem to above the stem, or vice versa. Otherwise,
you’ll have to get a stem of different length or rise.
Consult your dealer. Do not attempt to do this
yourself, as it requires special knowledge.
If your bike has a “quill” stem (g. 7) you can ask
your dealer to adjust the handlebar height a bit by
