Kellys Alpina MTB Owner's Manual

MTB / CROSS
Dear customer,
thank you for purchase of ALPINA bicycle. We strongly encourage you to read the owner's manual first
to enjoy your bicycle and for safety reasons too. By doing so, you will have a better understanding for
the general operation of your bike.
Your local retailer will provide warranty services and repairs of your bike.
TYPE OF BICYCLE USE
The bicycle is designed for use off-road on rough terrain, on public roads and on public pathways. If you
will ride your bicycle in road traffic mainly when reduced visibility you have to equip it with lights and
reflectors according relevant national law.
ADJUSTING SADDLE, STEM AND HANDLEBAR POSITION
All function parts of the bicycle are adjusted by manufacturer and checked by your local dealer so you
can safely use your bike immediately. The only thing you need to do is to set the saddle, handlebar and
stem position to provide yourself with maximum comfort and safe operation of brakes and steering
of the bike.
SADDLE
SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Take a seat on bicycle. Put your foot on pedal which is in the position nearest to the ground. Heel must
be on pedal. Leg must be stretched and slightly bent in the knee for reaching right height of saddle. If
you have saddle too high you will overcharge legs and back muscles. Knee and hips muscle overcharge
will be caused by too low levelled saddle.
ADJUSTING SADDLE POSITION AND TILT
Most recommended position of saddle is when saddle is parallel with ground. Try some positions of
saddle and finally choose the one which is the best for you. It is possible to move saddle forward and
backwards towards the handlebar. Tilt adjustment and moving of saddle is possible when screw on
lock of seat tube is released. Release the screw, move the saddle in desired position and set the tilt and
then tighten screw to keep saddle safely in requested position. Make sure that the screw is tightened
properly.
IMPORTANT WARNING
There is the minimum insertion mark on the seatpost which marks minimal required insertion depth of
seatpost into bike frame. This minimal insertion mark of seatpost must be invisible. Make sure that the
minimum insertion mark of seatpost is not visible above the bike frame after the seatpost is inserted into
the frame. Seatpost clamp screw or seatpost quick-release must be securely tightened so the seatpost is not
turnable inside the frame. Move the lever of the quick-release to the sides only, to positions OPEN or CLOSE.
Do not turn locked quick-release lever, it could get damaged!
