b. Adjusting the saddle
Your saddle has the ability to adjust the height instantaneously via a quick release clamp. There is also the ability to
tilt the nose of the saddle up or down and adjust your riding position to be further or closer to the handlebar. The
latter two require the use of the multi-use tool included with the purchase of your G Plus Genesis. Please review
the following details on adjusting your saddle.
 To adjust the height of the saddle or remove
the seat post, please review the details
below (no tools required). The quick release
lever should be opened by pulling the lever
away from the seat tube allowing for the
seat tube clamp to loosen the grip around
the post. This will allow you to raise or lower
the saddle to the desired height. Do not over
extend the seat post past the seat tube
clamp, there is a minimum insertion line on
the seat post which must be followed and
you must not extend the seat post past this
mark. It is also important the seat tube
clamp is sufficiently tight when closing to
maintain enough pressure around the seat
post for it not to slide downwards after the
quick release lever is closed. This can be
accomplished by tightening the quick
release nut clock wise which is located at
the opposite end of the quick release lever.
WARNING: The seat post includes a minimum insertion mark. It is important you do not allow the seat post to
be clamped below this mark. This mark must be inserted into the frame pass the top of quick release clamp. If clamping
below this mark, it can cause the seat post to break, failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION: The seat tube quick release clamp must be checked for tightness to ensure the saddle will not
accidentally slide into the seat tube when riding. This can cause a rider to lose balance and may result in a fall.
 To tilt the nose of your saddle upwards or downwards, please review the details below (you will need to use the 5mm
hex key included with your G Plus multi-use tool kit that came with your bicycle). The saddle mounting clamp attaches
the saddle to the seat post via a front and rear barrel nut and bolt. To bring the nose of the saddle down, loosen the
rear bolt by 1 full counter clockwise rotation and tighten the front bolt by 1 full clockwise rotation. Check for comfort and
if the nose is still too high, attempt the above step again. Continue to adjust by following the step above over and over
until the desired nose height is established. If you prefer to raise the nose, you can follow the above step but in the
opposite direction (loosen the front bolt counter clockwise 1 rotation and tighten the rear bolt clockwise 1 rotation). All
bolts should be tightened to 140 in*lb. (SEE PHOTO BELOW)
CAUTION: The saddle mounting clamp front and rear barrel nut and bolt must remain tight at all times. Test
saddle for looseness or play in the rotation of the nose. If saddle is loose, tighten the clamp bolts to ensure the saddle will
not accidentally rotate up or down when riding. Both bolts should be tightened to 60 in*lb. If loose, this can cause a rider
to lose balance and may result in a fall. (SEE PHOTO BELOW)
 Your saddle can be adjusted to be closer or further away from the steering tube/handlebar (you will
need to use the 5mm hex key included with your G Plus multi-use tool kit). This adjustment is minimal
but allows a 7.5mm adjustment in either direction from center mount (15mm total, close to 5/8”). To
adjust the saddle closer or further, you must loosen the rear and front barrel nut and bolt set which
connects the saddle rails to the saddle mounting clamp located at the top of the seat post. Loosen both
bolts by rotating 2 times counter clockwise each. This should allow for sufficient looseness to slide the
saddle rails in either direction on the saddle mounting clamp. You must not allow the edge of the
saddle mounting clamp to meet with the saddle rail bends. The edge of the clamp must be a minimum
of 5mm from the saddle rail bends. Upon establishing the correct position, tighten the saddle mounting
clamp bolts 2 times in clockwise direction. Check for tightness of bolts and continue turning if loose. All
bolts should be tightened to 140 in*lb.
