A DJU ST ING THE SA DDLE
After getting on the bicycle, touch the ground with two feet to detect the correct
height of the saddle; then tighten the lever on the seat tube and lock it carefully.
To check if the seat height is correct:
•
sit on the saddle;
•
put the heel on one of the pedals;
•
rotate the crank arm until the pedal on which you placed the heel is in the
lowest position.
If your leg is not fully stretched, it means that the height of the saddle must be
adjusted.
If the hips must swing to reach the pedal, it means that the saddle is too high.
If the leg is bent at knee height when the heel is resting on the pedal, it means that
the saddle is too low.
The handlebar is pre-adjusted at the factory to a standard height. If a different
adjustment is necessary, contact a qualified technician
•
Use the brakes sensibly, especially on rainy days or snow, or in poor grip
conditions
•
Reduce your speed in poor grip conditions and when you are going down
steep slopes;
•
When braking, it is advisable to use the rear brake first and then the front
one
•
Regularly check the wear of the brake system and replace them when
they are worn out
