Check to see if your saddle is positioned at the proper height.
Sit on the saddle facing forward and place the ball of your
foot on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should be
mostly straight at this point with a slight bend at the knee.
You should be able to pedal the bike without overextending
your leg when the pedal is at its lowest point. Your legs may
be overextended if it causes your hips to move side to side,
which means the seat must be lowered.
Check that your suspension fork is properly adjusted for the
terrain and your weight. The suspension fork will affect the
handling of the bike, primarily when going over bumps and
stopping. In some situations, it may be advantageous to lock
out the suspension so it is fully rigid.
The suspension fork can be locked out so it is rigid, and the
tension is adjustable. To adjust the suspension fork use the
knob. To fully lock the suspension, turn the knob clockwise
towards the “lock” direction indicated until it cannot be
turned further.
To increase the stiffness, turn the knob clockwise towards
the “lock” direction indicated. To make the suspension softer,
turn the knob counterclockwise towards the “open” direction
indicated.
