For your safety, the saddle
should not be raised above the
marker on the seat post.

DECATHLON ADVICE
• Using a mountain bike, your saddle will be set in a high position when you are
on flat or rising ground to increase your pedaling power. However, going
downhill, to better control your bike, lower at the saddle so you can recover
your route by putting your feet on the ground.
• To set the saddle recoil: sat on the saddle, feet in the pedals (conventional or
automatic), the swivel joint should be perpendicular to the pedal spindle
when the crank is horizontal.
For a good pedaling position, set your saddle height so
that with your leg extended your heel rests on the pedal (in
the lowest position)
Therefore, when pedaling your leg will be slightly bent at
the lowest point so that your hips do not sway and for easy
pedaling.
Rapid seat pin blocking will make tightening easier
To tighten, place the lever at 90°, completely hand tighten
the screw and pull the lever down. The force used should
be sufficient to block the seat pin.
Multiply the crotch value by 0.88 to
obtain your seat height, the distance
separating the center of your pedal
above your seat, that you will set parallel
to
the ground.
