SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Holding this position, have your helper place the end of the plumb line (line of string with nut/
washer) on the front of your leg, at a point just below the bony protrusion that's beneath the
kneecap.
The plumb line's weight should hang over your shoe. Check again to ensure that the crank-arm
and pedal are level. By looking at the plumb line the knee should be in alignment with the centre
spindle or axle of the pedal. Adjust the saddle to the correct position then tighten the locking pin.
Handle Bar Adjustment
The positioning of the handlebars can be dependent on the bike design and adjustability available.
To minimise back strain, adjust the height to a level that is comfortable for you. We recommend
the handlebars be positioned at the same height level as the bike seat as a good starting point.
Having your bike seat adjusted to the right height is essential for a comfortable ride, efficient
pedalling and avoiding injury. There are 2 adjustments located on the seat post. The first is a
vertical height adjustment, the second is for horizontal seat position. Although there are many
methods and opinions on the optimal saddle setting, the following is a quick and easy method to
get started. Further adjustments can be made afterwards to optimise your position and comfort.
