2. Step-through frame bicycles
Standover height does not apply to bicycles with step-through frames. Instead, the limiting dimension is determined by saddle height
range. You must be able to adjust your saddle position as described in B without exceeding the limits set by the height of the top of the
seat tube and the "Minimum Insertion" or "Maximum Extension" mark on the seat post.
B. Saddle position
Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in getting the most performance and comfort from your bicycle. If the saddle position
is not comfortable for you, see your dealer.
The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:
1. Up and down adjustment. To check for correct saddle height (fig. 3):
• sit on the saddle;
• place one heel on a pedal;
• rotate the crank until the pedal with your heel on it is in the down position and the crank arm is parallel to the seat tube.
If your leg is not completely straight, your saddle height needs to be adjusted. If your hips must rock for the heel to reach the pedal,
the saddle is too high. If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel on the pedal, the saddle is too low.
