SET UP AND ADJUSTMENT

Frame sizes: The following is a good starting point.
Height <5' 7" (170cm)
Height >5' '7" (170cm) & >200Lbs (90Kg)
Height 5' 9" - 6'10" (175 - 208cm)
The seat: The Easy Rider seat assembly is adjustable in five ways.
1. The first and most
basic is fore and aft
adjustment of the
whole assembly. See
Fig. 2 & Fig. 3. The
goal of this
adjustment is to fit
the seat to pedal
distance to your own
body size. The
objective is to have
your knee slightly
bent when your foot
is at the forward most part of the pedal rotation. You should not bend your ankle
to reach further forward. As noted in the "starting off" section above, start with a
shorter seat-to-pedal distance. The seat rails are laser etched with a size scale.
Note your preferred setting and save time when sharing a bike or reinstalling
the seat assembly after removing it for transport.
The seat assembly is
clamped in place with
two quick release
assemblies. See
section 4 B of the
Cannondale Owners
Manual for detailed
instructions on the
proper operation of a
quick release.

and firmly close both quick release seat clamp assemblies.
Read and follow the instructions. If they are not properly
adjusted they could slip.
Be sure to position the rear seat clamp quick release lever is
positioned horizontally to maximize clearance with the rear
tire through the full range of suspension travel. See Fig. 4.
Do not adjust seat assembly further forward than minimum
line. See Fig. 5.
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while riding.
Failure to follow these instructions could cause loss of
control and injury.

2. The second adjustment is the seat back angle. The seat back may be
adjusted through 17 degrees. This adjustment is made by loosening the two
bolts (one on each side) shown in Fig. 6. Move the seat back to suit your
preference and
retighten the clamp
bolts. They should be
torqued to 94-130 In-
Lbs (8.7-10.6 Nm)
before riding. As noted
in the "starting off"
section above, start with
a more upright seat
back angle. We suggest
mid position or steeper.
