Page 9: The Seat
The Seat When the seat height is properly adjusted, the balls of your feet should easily touch the ground AND your leg should have a slight bend when the pedal is in the extended position. If your legs are completely straight when pedaling, you need to lower the seat. If your legs have more than a slight bend when pedaling, you need to raise the seat. - Page 10 These are available at most bicycle dealers and are easy to put on your bicycle. The seat post on Day 6 bicycles is 30.4 mm.

Page 11: Bicycle Inspection
If you see something you are uncertain about, take your bicycle to your local bicycle dealer. General Inspection - Check for loose parts by raising your bicycle about 3” off the ground and dropping it on the tires. - Make sure ALL quick release mechanisms are locked and tight. - Page 12 - Make sure tires are properly inflated to pressure listed on sidewall. Tires can lose up to 10 pounds of air per week. Never ride with under inflated tires. - Although Day 6 bicycles are designed with large, 26” tires for a smooth ride, if possible, avoid stairs, curbs, potholes, railroad tracks, and other hazards.
