4. INSTALL SADDLE AND ADJUST SADDLE HEIGHT.
If the seat and seat post were removed for shipping, insert the seat post into the seat post tube.
WARNING:
The seatpost may be raised or lowered for comfort, but it should never be raised above the
“minimum insertion line” marked on the seatpost.
Generally, you do not want to raise your saddle higher than determined by this method. If you have to rock your
hips to reach the bottom of the pedal stroke, then your saddle is too high. However, if while riding your bicycle,
this position doesn’t feel comfortable to you, adjust as necessary.
To raise or lower seatpost,
open and close quick-release
lever as shown. If not
equipped with quick-release,
loosen and tighten hex head
bolt.
To determine proper saddle
height, position right pedal at
the bottom of its revolution,
aligned with the seat tube.
While sitting on saddle, place
your heel on right pedal. Your
leg should be fully extended.
Adjust saddle height if
necessary and repeat. Now
place the ball of your foot
directly over the center of the
pedal (normal riding position).
This should result in the
correct bend at the knee.
