SADDLE ADJUSTMENTS
Front and back adjustments. The saddle can be adjusted forward or
back to ensure you get optimal position for performance and comfort.
Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position and to
show you how to make any adjustments.
Saddle angle adjustments. The saddle angle can be adjusted either up
or down. Most riders prefer a horizontal saddle, but some also like the
saddle angle adjusted slightly up or down. Your dealer can make any
adjustments for you and/or teach you to do it yourself. If you do make
adjustments, remember that small changes to the saddle angle can
have a substantial eect on the bicycle’s performance and your com-
fort. Therefore, make small adjustments to the saddle for one direction
at a time. Go for a test ride to nd optimal position.
WARNING:
!
Be sure to double check that you have securely
tightened the saddle adjusting mechanism after each adjustment
before riding. A loose saddle clamp can cause damage to your
bicycle and/or cause you to lose control of the bicycle and
fall. When the saddle is securely tightened, there is no saddle
movement in any direction. It is a good habit to periodically check
the saddle for movement before riding the bicycle. This is done
easily and quickly by grabbing the saddle and trying to move it in
dierent directions.
HANDLEBAR HEIGHT AND ANGLE
Your Surface604 bicycle comes equipped with an adjustable stem. We
recommend that you contact your local dealer for assistance in making
any adjustments to the stem. Your Surface604 dealer can help you with
any adjustments to the handlebar height and angle.
WARNING:
!
The stem’s Minimum Insertion Mark must not be
visible above the top of the headset.
If you see that the Minimum Insertion Mark is visible, have your
local dealer make the necessary adjustments. A stem that
exceeds the Minimum Insertion Mark may break or damage the
fork’s steering tube, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING:
!
If the stem binder bolt, handlebar binder bolt
or bar and extension clamping bolt are not securely tightened,
you could lose control of your bicycle and fall and/or damage
your bicycle. To quickly check to ensure bolts are secure, place
the front wheel between your legs and attempt to twist the
handlebar/assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to the
front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to the stem, or turn
the bar and extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts are
not fastened properly. Either fasten them yourself or see your
dealer for help. Do not ride your bicycle until you are sure all bolts
are securely fastened.
BRAKE REACH
The brake levers can be adjusted for optimal reach; however, we do
not recommend that you attempt to adjust them yourself because your
hydraulic disc braking system is uid lled. If you have small hands or
nd it dicult to squeeze your brake levers, ask your local dealer to
assist you in making an adjustment or replace the levers with ones that
suit your needs or preferences.
WARNING:
!
The shorter the brake lever reach, the more
critical it is to have correctly adjusted brakes, so that full
breaking power can be applied within available brake lever travel.
Insucient brake lever travel can result in serious injury.
