Ask an accredited bike mechanic to set the saddle for optimal riding position and to show
you how to make this adjustment. If you choose to make your own saddle height adjustment:
 Loosen the seat post clamp.

Raise or lower the seat post in the seat tube.
 Make sure the saddle is straight fore and aft.
 Re-tighten
recommended torque.
Once the saddle is at the correct height, make sure
that the seat post does not project from the frame beyond its
"Minimum Insertion" or "Maximum Extension" mark (fig. 4).
NOTE: Some bicycles have a sight hole in the seat
tube, the purpose of which is to make it easy to see whether
the seat post is inserted in the seat tube far enough to be
safe. If your bicycle has such a sight hole, use it instead of
the "Minimum Insertion" or "Maximum Extension" mark to
make sure the seat post is inserted in the seat tube far
enough to be visible through the sight hole.
If your bike has an interrupted seat tube, as is the
case on some suspension bikes, you must also make sure
that the seat post is far enough into the frame so that you
can touch it through the bottom of the interrupted seat tube
with the tip of your finger without inserting your finger beyond
its first knuckle (see NOTE above and fig. 5).
WARNING
: If your seat post is not inserted in the seat tube as described in B. 1, the
seat post may break, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
2. Front and back adjustment. The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to help you get
the optimal position on the bike. Ask a certified bike mechanic to set the saddle for your optimal
riding position and to show you how to make this adjustment. If you choose to make your own
front and back adjustment, make sure that the clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part
of the saddle rails and is not touching the curved part of the rails, and you are using the
recommended torque on the clamping fastener (s).
3. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders like
the saddle nose angled up or down slightly. An accredited dealer can adjust saddle angle or show
you how to do it. If you choose to make your own saddle angle adjustment and you have a single
bolt saddle clamp on your seat post, it is critical that you loosen the clamp bolt sufficiently to
allow any serrations on the mechanism to disengage before changing the saddle's angle, and
then that the serrations fully re-engage before you tighten the clamp bolt to the recommended
torque.
