SEAT & SEAT POST ASSEMBLY
1. Loosen the seat clamp nuts.
2. Insert the top portion of the seat post into the seat clamp. Be sure the seat post is
completely inserted into the seat clamp and butted tightly against the underside of
the seat.
3. Tighten seat clamp nuts securely.
4. Insert the seat post (with seat attached) into the bike frame. Be sure that the seat
post is inserted past the minimum insertion line.
5. Tighten the seat post binder bolt securely at the desired height.
6. Adjust the angle of the seat so that the top of the seat is parallel to the ground or
comfortable to the rider.
7. Retighten the seat clamp nuts securely (torque requirement 15-20 ft. lbs). Check for
tightness by attempting to twist the seat along with rocking it up and down. If the seat
is loose, be sure to tighten the clamp nuts and binder bolt securely.
THE SEATPOST “MINIMUM INSERTION” / “MAXIMUM HEIGHT”
MARK SHOULD NOT BE VISIBLE WHEN THE SEAT POST IS
INSERTED INTO THE SEAT MAST OF THE BIKE. DO NOT RAISE
THE SEAT POST BEYOND THIS MARK. THE SEAT POST OR FRAME
MAY BREAK CAUSING YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL.
ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE SEAT POST ADJUSTING
MECHANISM IS TIGHTENED SECURELY BEFORE RIDING. RIDING
WITH AN IMPROPERLY TIGHTENED SEAT POST CAN ALLOW THE
SEAT TO TURN OR MOVE AND CAUSE THE RIDER TO LOSE CONTROL
SADDLE HEIGHT: In order to obtain the most comfortable riding position and
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.
While sitting on the bicycle with one pedal at it’s lowest point, place the ball of your
foot on the pedal. The correct saddle height will allow the knee to be slightly bent
in this position. To obtain maximum comfort, the rider should not over extend his or
her reach when riding. There should be a slight bend in the rider’s elbows.
