HOW TO ADJUST THE
INDOOR CYCLE
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT:
Begin with the top of the handlebar at relatively the same height or just slightly higher than
the top of the saddle (dotted horizontal line A in the drawing above) and at a neutral fore/
aft position (see dotted vertical line B in drawing above). If your knees touch the handlebars
or if you experience back discomfort while pedalling for extended periods of time, the height
of the handlebars can be adjusted. First, dismount the LIFE FITNESS IC2. Next, turn the front
adjustment knob counter clockwise, slide the handlebar post up or down, and then re-tighten
the adjustment knob.

A.
If your LIFE FITNESS IC2 is equipped with a regular 2 way handlebar. If the handlebar is too close
to the saddle, your breathing may feel restricted; if the handlebar is too far from the saddle,
you may experience back discomfort. To adjust the horizontal position to the handlebar, first
dismount the LIFE FITNESS IC2.
Check for proper handlebar position by positioning your elbow so that it is touching the front tip of the saddle at a
90 degree angle and checking that the fingertip of your middle finger is touching the handlebar at the mid-point. If it
is not as described then loosen the fore-aft T-lock handle and slide the saddle slightly forward or backward until your
middle finger is touching the handlebar at the mid-point, and then retighten the handle. Changing your hand position
can change the angle of your back, neck, and arms. To minimize the stress on your muscles during your workouts, change
your hand position frequently.
