the minimum insertion depth for the seat post,
which is necessary to ensure safe usage of the
seat tube. The seat tube may slip or break if the
minimum insertion depth is exceeded.
Take note of the minimum insertion depth

of the seat tube.
When adjusting the seat height, note that

the marking (1) on the seat tube is not

3.6 Adjusting the seat position
In order to achieve a suitable seating position you
can adjust the seat inclination on your flatbed and the distance to the handlebar.
1.
Turn the screw (1) or the screws (2) or (3) below the saddle one to two rotations in a clockwise direction.
2.
Position the saddle in such a way that you assume a suitable seating position and so that you are able to
operate all of the components on the handlebar safely during the journey.
3.
Tilt the saddle in such a way that you can adopt a suitable seating position. A horizontal seating position
is recommended. For seat tubes with 2 or 3 screws, you can set the inclination by turning the loosened
screws against one another.
4.
Pull the screw(s) beneath the seat in a clockwise direction, taking account of the torques.
5.
Check whether you are able to move the seat.
