Take some time to learn how to properly adjust the bike to your body; it will make
your workouts more pleasant and a safer experience too. Riding the bike when it is
incorrectly adjusted can result in discomfort and increase your risk of injury.
Adjustment of Seat Position:
Seat Height Adjustment
1. Standing next to the bike, adjust seat until it is about hip
height.
2. Rotate crank arms until the pedals are in the vertical position:
12 and 6 o’clock.
3. Place your foot in toe cage of pedal closest to the floor and
mount the bike. Ensure that the ball of your foot is over the
center of pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee,
about 5 degrees.
4. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch pedal you will need to lower
seat height. If your leg is bent too much you will need to raise seat height.
5. Dismount the bike. Loosen the locking knob on seat post and adjust up
or down as necessary.
6. When seat is in the desired position, tighten the locking knob to secure the seat
post.
7. Note the final position mark on the seat post for future reference.
Seat Forward/Aft Adjustment
1. Sit on bike with crank arms in the 3 and 9 o’clock positions.
For road bike training, a proper forward/aft position of the
seat is achieved when small bump at the top of the shin is
above pedal axle.
2. Dismount the bike. Loosen the adjustment knob under the
seat and slide the seat forward or backward as desired; then
tighten the adjustment knob.
Handlebar Adjustment:
Handlebar Height Adjustment
1. The Handlebar height is a matter of preference. Start with a
handlebar height that is the same as the seat’s height.
Adjusting the handlebar higher will give the rider a more
upright position; lower will result in a more crouched position.
2. Raise or lower the handlebar by loosening locking knob on
handlebar post and adjust by sliding the handlebar mount up
or down as desired. Then tighten the locking knob to secure
the handlebar post. Note the final position mark on handlebar
post for future reference.
