of your legs and the fore-aft position of your body on the bicycle. With correct
adjustment, your bicycle saddle will be comfortable—even for long rides.
WARNING
A saddle that is adjusted incorrectly or does not correctly support your pelvic area can cause injury to your nerves or blood
vessels. If your saddle causes pain or numbness, adjust the saddle position. If your saddle still causes pain or
numbness, speak to your dealer about a change in your position or a saddle that is more comfortable.
To adjust the angle of the saddle
1. Decrease the tightness of the seat-clamp bolt until the saddle can be moved.
2. Put a straight edge, bubble level, or ruler across the top of the saddle to better see
the angle of the saddle.
3. Adjust the saddle and tighten the saddle-clamp bolt for your type of seatpost, the
suggested torque is 22Nm.
To adjust the height of the saddle
1. While someone holds the bicycle, sit on the saddle without shoes, with the crank
arms parallel to the seat tube.
2. Decrease the tightness of the seatpost binder bolt or quick-release.
3. Put your heel on the bottom pedal. Extend the seatpost until your extended leg is
straight. When you wear shoes there should be a small bend in your knee in the correct
position; with the ball of your foot on the pedal.
