FORE-TO-AFT-POSITION AND SADDLE TILT

The fore-and-aft position of the saddle can be
adjusted individually over a wide range. Four
adjustment options are available for this:
Shifting the saddle rails in the saddle clamp-
ing head
Clamping the saddle rails via the front or
rear clamping slide holes
Shifting the saddle slide horizontally in the
slotted hole of the seat post.
Turning the saddle slide on the seat post by
180°
however, shifting the saddle rails in the seat
post will also affect your pedalling.
depending on whether the saddle is posi-
tioned more to the front or more to the rear,
your legs will reach the pedals to a greater or
lesser extent from behind.
The adjustment range of the saddle
i
is determined by the UCI and is over
a distance of between 50 mm and 110 mm
from the middle of the bottom bracket up
to the front end of the saddle.
Slide the seat post in the seat tube to the de-
sired saddle height and tighten the Allen bolt
at the seat post clamp to the specified torque
of 4 Nm up to a maximum of 6 Nm.
In the triathlon version the saddle slide on the
seat post can be turned around by 180° in the
frame.

This produces a wide adjustment range of
0 mm to 85 mm distance from the middle of
the bottom bracket.
First undo the two Allen bolts which clamp the
saddle slide to the seat post by two or three
turns. If necessary, hold the bolts in place on
the other side with another Allen wrench.
You can now move the saddle horizontally in
the seat post and adjust the tilt to your needs.

If the range is not enough, you can undo the
two almost vertical bolts. Shift the saddle
rails in the saddle clamping head.
Ensure when doing this that the saddle rails
have been positioned in such a way that the
clamp of the seat post is within the prescribed
range. If there is no marking at the sad-
dle rails, the clamping must be done on the
straight portion of the rails and on no account
on the front or rear bend. Risk of breakage!
