Preparation
Setting the saddle height
Never adjust the saddle so the minimum mark (marked on the seat post) is above the
top of the seat tube, otherwise you could injure yourself or damage the seat post.
Try to reach the pedal with your heel when it is in
the bottom position. Your knee should be more
or less fully straight.
Place the balls of your feet on the centre of the
pedal. If your knee is now slightly bent, the
saddle height is correct.
Sit on the saddle. The suspension should sag to
it’s resting position.
9
Preparation
Adjusting the saddle height
Pull back the quick-release lever. Adjust the saddle to the correct height for you,
making sure that the minimum mark is not
above the seat tube.
Close the quick-release by rmly pushing on the
quick-release lever, so that it lies at against
the frame.
Check that the saddle cannot move once the
quick-release is closed. If it does move, tighten
the adjusting nut, until you need to use the palm
of your hand to close the quick-release lever.
When adjusting the height of the saddle ensure that the quick release clamp is sufciently tightened so
that there is no movement in the seat post.
10
Preparation
Adjusting the saddle travel and angle
You can adjust the travel and the angle of the saddle. The screw to do this is located underneath the
saddle.
Turn the black plastic screw to adjust the angle
of the saddle.
The screw for adjusting the saddle is located
beneath the saddle.
Whilst looking up at the base of the saddle, turn
the screw anti-clockwise with the Gtech tool to
loosen it.
Now that the saddle is loose you can move it
horizontally forwards or backwards to improve
your reach to the handlebars.
