SPINNING BIKE SET-UP
SPINNING BIKE SET-UP
•
Stand next to the Spinning Bike’s seat (also known as the saddle). The seat height should be about
level with your hips when you are standing next to it.
•
Turn the seat height adjustment Knob counter-clockwise. Pull the handle out to release the pin from
the hole so you can adjust the seat height. Lower or raise the seat so it is approximately level with your
hips as you stand next to the bike.
•
Insert the pin into the correct seat height hole and turn the handle clockwise to lock it in place.
•
Get on the bike.
•
Take one pedal all the way down to the bottom of your pedal stroke. You should have a full extension
in your leg without locking out your knee. The full extension should allow for a soft knee or even a
very slight bend.
•
Bring one pedal forward and one pedal back so they are in a straight line (the front pedal should be in
the 3 o’clock position and the back in the 9 o’clock position). If you drop a straight line down from your
forward knee, it should fall directly over the centre of your front foot. If this does not happen, you
need to move the seat either forward or backward. The forward knee should be at a 90 degree angle.
You should also be able to comfortably rest your hands on the handlebars. If you feel you are really
stretching to reach the handlebars, you need to move your seat or handlebars backwards or forwards
until you are in your most comfortable riding position.
•
Dismount the bike and adjust the forward/backward seat or handlebars position. Again, turn the handle
counter-clockwise, pull the pin out and move the seat to the desired position. Place the pin in the
chosen hole and turn the handle clockwise to secure the position.
•
Move to the front of the bike and adjust the handlebar height. The height of the handlebars is more
a matter of preference. Comfort should be the main key. Some experienced riders choose to keep
the handlebars low to replicate outdoor riding. Many riders choose a higher handlebar height for more
comfort.
