Seat Track Adjustment

The seat assembly is ﬁ xed to the seat track

via quick-re lease mech a nisms. It can be

easily moved by opening the quick-release

levers and slid ing the seat on the track.

The seat quick-release mech a nisms must

be fully closed before riding. If you have

any ques tions about the proper op er a tion

of the quick-re lease mech a nism, refer to

Section IV. Tech, B.3, of the Burley Adult

Own ers Manual for Multi-Speed Bicycles

or have your dealer provide instruction.

Under no circumstances should the bicycle be ridden without the seat quick-release

mechanisms prop er ly adjusted and fully closed. If the quick-release mechanisms

are not closed with adequate force, the seat assembly may slide on the seat track.

When the quick-release mechanisms are closed properly, the seat assembly WILL

NOT SLIDE ON THE SEAT TRACK.

If the seat assembly is allowed to slide on the seat track, it will not slide off the

bike frame. Socket head bolts and special washers are installed at the rear of the

seat track to prevent the seat assembly from coming off. These important safety

features should not be removed from the bicycle.

CLOSE QUICK-RELEASE MECHANISM AND ADJUST PROPERLY: Riding

your bicycle with seat quick-release mech a nisms open or im prop er ly

adjusted can cause you to lose control, resulting in serious injury or

death.

Seat Fore-Aft Adjustment

Step 1. Seat Adjustment—While sitting on the bi cy cle, have an assistant hold you

upright or lean against a wall. Pedal back wards in the free wheel ing direction to

position yourself on the seat and pedals. Stop ped al ing with the crankarms parallel

to the ground. There should be a slight bend to the knee of the leg on the forward

pedal. If your leg is completely straight, the seat is po si tioned too far back on the

seat track. If the bend at the knee is too great, the seat is positioned too far forward

on the seat track.

Step 2. Seat Adjustment Check—Conﬁ rm the correct bend of your leg by again

sitting on the bike with the crankarms oriented parallel to the ground. Place the

heel of your foot on the center of the forward pedal. Your leg will be absolutely

straight when the seat is adjusted the correct distance from the pedals. This technique

should provide a slight bend at the knee when the ball of your foot is centered on

the pedal.
