SURFACE604 FRAME FIT
As your Surface604 bicycle does not have a top tube you may also
use the seat tube measurement to determine proper t. The seat tube
length designation is measured as the length from the middle of the
bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube. For example, if you rode a
19’’ bicycle in the past, you may also consider a 19” Surface604 frame.
NOTE: Have your dealer assist you in nding the ideal frame for your
size, riding style and experience
SADDLE POSITION
It is very important that your saddle position is set according to your
personal preference to ensure maximum performance and comfort
while riding your bike. If you nd that the saddle is not comfortable, ask
your dealer to assist you in making any adjustments. He/she will have
the necessary tools and skills required for the adjustment. The saddle
can be adjusted in three directions:
2
Up and down adjustments. Check correct saddle height:
• Sit on the saddle;
• 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.
Evaluation:
If your leg is not completely straight (but not locked) and just touching
the center of the pedal, your saddle needs to be adjusted. If your hips
have to rock for the heel to reach the pedal, the saddle is too high. If
your knees are obviously bent with your heel on the pedal, your saddle
is too low. There will be a line or marking on the seat post indicating the
point at which you cannot extend the post before it is unsafe.
WARNING:
!
A mounted seat post that exceeds the allowable
Minimum Insertion or Maximum Extension mark can cause injury
and/or for you to lose control of your bike and/or damage your
bicycle.
