Saddle adjustment

It is important to adjust correctly the saddle for comfortable sitting and better pedaling. 
There are: 

1. 

Height adjustment.

 To check the height adjustment is correct, sit on the saddle with your heel on 

the pedal, scroll the pedal until it is at the low point and the cranks stands parallel to the seat tube. 
If your leg is bent more than slightly, your seat should be adjusted up. If you can’t reach the pedal, 
your seat should be adjusted down. On most Shulz models there is a special scale on the seat post, 
so it’s easy to remember the height that that suits you the best. 
To adjust the seat height, do the following:

     — open the quick-release lever of the seat post clamp;
     — adjust the seat up or down;
     — make sure the saddle is in line with the center of the bike;
     — сlose the quick-release lever of the seat post clamp to the previous position; use the nut on the
         back of the quick-release to adjust the force; 
     — check that the saddle doesn’t twist out of frame.

WARNING: Make sure that the saddle is not adjusted above the maximum or below the minimum 
mark on the seat post - this can lead to bicycle breakage and serious injury!

2. 

Horizontal adjustment

. By this adjustment of the saddle you can find the optimal position by 

moving closer to the handlebar or away from it. This operation is best done in a professional bicycle 
workshop. 

3.

 The saddle angle

. Most cyclists prefer sitting on a saddle that is mounted parallel to the ground. 

However, some feel comfortable sitting on their saddles with slightly raised or lowered nose. This 
operation is best done in a professional bicycle workshop.

Saddle position is important for control and comfort and even its minimal adjustment can affect cy-
cling. To find the ideal saddle position, change only one parameter at a time. If you have not managed 
to adjust the saddle on your own, see your dealer or any qualified mechanic.

WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, make sure that all mounts are tightened sufficiently other-
wise it’s possible to lose control, fall off the bike and get injuries. A properly adjusted saddle must 
be firmly in place and should not move in any direction even under heavy load. Check regularly the 
strength of the saddle mounting.
