7. The Bicycle
All other accessories of your Speed Pedelec are high quality, conventional
bicycle components whose handling and operation should be
explained here briefly. Important information regarding the
adjustment, operation and maintenance of the bike and its
accessories are summarized here.
You will also find further information in the accompanying user
manuals of each manufacturer.
7.1 Saddle and handlebar adjustment
The B comes in only one frame size. The adjustment to your
body size and their needs will be made on the saddle, stem and handlebar
adjustment, which normally do the authorized dealer.
In order to readjust by yourself or in the case of a driver change
the settings are briefly described in the following lines.
Caution: All work described require mechanic experience
and appropriate tools. Use to tighten the screws a torque
wrench and never exceed the maximum torque of the
screws. All the necessary tools and information to the
torques can be found in chapter 11. Technical Data.
Adjustment of the saddle height:
The optimal saddle height is if you touch the pedal with the heel
of your stretched leg, when sitting on the saddle (Image 30).
Or when you bring the ball of the foot to the center of the pedal,
your knee should be slightly bent (Image 31)
Loosen with a suitable allen key the seat clamp screw and move
the seat post with the saddle at the proper height. Align the saddle
with the frame using the saddle nose and the bottom bracket or
top tube as references.
Fasten the screw of the seat clamp again and check the correct
height of the saddle. Repeat the process if necessary until you find
the correct saddle height.
