2. ADJUSTING THE SADDLE POSITION
Move the saddle rails so that they are roughly halfway between maximum fore and aft position (fig. 1), adjust the saddle angle so it is pointing
slightly downward; this will result in it being level when the bike is unfolded.
Tighten the Pentaclip bolt firmly with the supplied 5mm hex key (fig.2). Ride the bike to test the saddle position, you can adjust it if needed.
