FIRST TIME USER INSTRUCTIONS

ADJUSTING THE BIKE FOR A PROPER FIT
Take some time to learn how to properly adjust the bike to your body; it will make your
workouts more pleasant and a safer experience too. Riding the bike when it is incorrectly
adjusted can result in discomfort and increase your risk of injury.
Adjustment of Seat Position:
Seat Height Adjustment
1. Standing next to the bike, adjust seat until it is about hip height.
2. Rotate crank arms until the pedals are in the vertical position: 12
and 6 o'clock.
3. Place your foot in toe cage of pedal closest to the floor and mount
the bike. Ensure that the ball of your foot is over the center of
pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee, about 5
degrees.
4. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch pedal you will
need to lower seat height. If your leg is bent too much you will
need to raise seat height.
5. Dismount the bike. Loosen the quick release lever on seat post and
adjust up or down as necessary.
6. When seat is in the desired position, tighten the quick release to
secure the seat post.
7. Note the final position mark on the seat post for future reference.
Seat Forward/Aft Adjustment
1. Sit on bike with crank arms in the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. For
road bike training, a proper forward/aft position of the seat is
achieved when small bump at the top of the shin is above pedal
axle.
2. Dismount the bike. Loosen the quick release under the seat and
slide the seat forward or backward as desired; then tighten the
quick release.
Handlebar Adjustment:
Handlebar Height Adjustment
1. The Handlebar height is a matter of preference. Start with a
handlebar height that is the same as the seat's height. Adjusting
the handlebar higher will give the rider a more upright position;
lower will result in a more crouched position.
2. Raise or lower the handlebar by loosening quick release on
handlebar post and adjust by sliding the handlebar mount up or
down as desired. Then tighten the quick release to secure the
handlebar post. Note the final position mark on handlebar post for
future reference.
Adjustment of Handlebar's Forward/Aft Position
1. Loosen the quick release under the handlebar and slide the handlebar forward or
backward as desired. Suitable forward/aft position should allow the rider to
comfortably grasp the handlebar with a slight bend at the elbow.
2. Tighten the quick release to secure the handlebar assembly.
