5.) Adjusting the Seat Height
In order to obtain the most comfortable riding position and offer the best possible pedaling
efficiency, the seat height should be set correctly in relation to the rider’s leg length. The
correct saddle height should not allow leg strain from over-extension, and the hips should not
rock from side to side when pedaling. To determine the correct saddle height:
• Sit on the bike saddle. Try to reach the pedal
with your heel when it is in the bottom position. Your
knee should be more or less fully straightened out.

• Place the balls of your feet on the center of
the pedal. If your knee is now slightly bent, the
saddle height is correct. (Image B)
To adjust the seat height:
• Open the quick-release device as far as possible.
• Turn the adjusting nut anticlockwise to further slacken the quick-release
device.
To close the quick-release device, proceed as follows:
• Adjust the clamping strength by turning the adjusting nut.
• If the quick-release device closes too easily, open it again and turn the
adjusting nut clockwise.
• If the quick-release device still closes too easily repeat the previous step.
• If the quick-release device is too difficult to close, turn the adjusting nut
anticlockwise.
• Turn back the quick-release lever from the OPEN position so you can see the
outer side of the lever or the lettering CLOSE.
