SET-UP
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY, NEVER
RIDE YOUR BIKE WITH THE
SEATPOST RAISED ABOVE THE
MINIMUM INSERTION MARK.
1 RIDING POSITION
1.1 SADDLE HEIGHT
Every human body is unique, which means that the ratio between your torso, arm length and leg length can
vary between people even of the same height. It is important to adjust your saddle to your needs.
If the saddle is too high, your hips will rock from side to side in order to pedal, which can cause back pain.
If the saddle is too low, pressure is unevenly distributed along your leg and on your knee causing unnecessary
pain.
In order to find the correct saddle height, use the following steps. With the cranks parallel to the seat tube,
take off your shoe and place your heel on the lower pedal. Your leg should be straight, without having to
stretch it. This will give the ideal height for riding with shoes and pedalling with the ball of your foot at the
pedal axel.
When you raise the seat post, do not raise it higher than the “INSERT MINI” or “STOP” indications that are in
general engraved at the bottom of the seat post. If this indication is visible while you ride, you can deform
the tubes of your frame or even break it, possibly resulting in serious injury. This will also cancel the terms
of the warranty.
The saddle height can be adjusted with:
- A seat post binder bolt
- An Allen bolt (always work with the bolt on the right hand side)
- Quick release system (in this case, position the lever at a 90˚ angle to the top tube to tighten or
loosen the opposed nut, then close the lever to block the system)
1.2 SADDLE POSITION
You may suffer some initial discomfort before your body becomes accustomed to sitting on the saddle.
However, the position of the saddle may also cause some irritation.
To avoid this kind of problem, in general a level saddle position is best. Of course, the saddle can be slightly
tilted depending on the body shape of the rider. You can also adjust the fore and aft position of saddle for
comfortable pedalling and the correct back position. When you do find the correct position, the saddle must
be securely tightened so that it can no longer move while riding.
