COMFORT
Preparing
The saddle and handlebars form the basis
of your driving position. There is a simple
rule for the correct height of the saddle.
With the crank in line with the seat tube,
your leg must be stretched but not locked.
[1].Too high a saddle will cause sliding
and strain on your back. Too low a saddle
causes strain in the knees.
Tips
• Ladies will find a horizontal position of
the saddle or the front pointing slightly
downwards the most comfortable. A
saddle with front slightly raised is most
comfortable for men.
• Take care when parking not to put
the saddle against a rough wall, to avoid
damage.
• A saddle covered in leather can, if it is
Wet, bleed color onto other materials. You
should take this into account.
Saddle adjustment
Put the saddle pin in to the frame tube (at
least 80 mm) please look at the safety line.
Adjust the saddle tube carefully with a 5
mm Allen key.
• To adjust the height, the saddle tube
bolt should be loosened.
• The safety marks with the warning note
must no longer be visible after the
adjustment [2].
There will then be sufficient
length in the frame tube (80 mm) to prevent
breakage.
• By loosening the saddle fixing bolt you
can tilt the saddle as well as adjust it
backwards and forwards [3].
• After everything has been adjusted
[1]
tighten all the nuts and bolts securely (as
indicated in the torque table in the safety
section.)
• Check regularly between trips if the
nuts and bolts are tight.
Steering
The handlebars position is key to your riding
position. By adjusting the steering tube
position higher or lower, the riding position
changes.
