Bike Adjustments

Your Spinner indoor cycling bike is easy to use. The bike allows the user full control over resistance by simply adjust-
®
ing the brake pad. Typically, lower resistance levels enable you to pedal at a faster pace, placing increased demand
on the cardiovascular system. Higher resistance levels will typically deliver a greater muscle/endurance workout at
lower RPMs (Revolutions Per Minute). RPM parameters in the Spinning program range from 60 to 110 RPM.
®
Additionally, the bike offers seat and handlebar adjustments, allowing the bike to be configured to each users comfort
zone.
This section provides the instructions for making seat adjustments, handlebar adjustments, pedal strap adjustments,
and for controlling resistance. Differences between models are noted where applicable.
PLEASE NOTE: In a club setting, we recommend each user to initially be properly fitted on the bike by a certi-
fied Spinning® instructor.
Seat Adjustments
Proper seat height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the seat height
so that the knee joint is slightly flexed when the extended leg is at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Once the proper height has been
achieved, adjust the seat forward or back so that when the feet are in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, the forward knee is di-
rectly over the pedal axle. Recheck the seat height again after making the fore/aft adjustment, as moving the seat forward and
backward can have the same effect as moving it higher or lower
To adjust the seat height:
Dismount the bike. Turn the seat height pop-pin counterclockwise and pull out on the pin to release it
from its current preset location. Raise or lower the seat to the desired height, then gently release the
pop-pin. Raise or lower the seat slightly, if necessary, until the pop-pin engages a preset hole. Turn the
pop-pin clockwise to secure. Be sure to tighten firmly.
