The Lauf Anywhere can be adjusted in various ways to ne tune the rider’s t. Components
to adjust are saddle, seatpost, stem and handlebar.
Rider Fit
R1
Handlebar:
The handlebar can be adjusted in tilt to accommodate different riding styles. If your saddle
is tilted forward the handlebar is usually also tilted forward a little bit. In order to do so
follow the diagram below (R1)
However, a good rule of thumb is to align the handlebar such that the top of the handlebar
is parallel to the ground (R2). The stem has so called Top-Lock system from Easton. Make
sure the arrow on the inside of the faceplate is pointing upwards (or the text “5Nm/45in-
lbs” on the outside of the faceplate facing downwards) (R3). First install the two upper bolts
and tighten to 5 Nm. The faceplate should touch the stem at the top. After adjusting the
handlebar install the lower bolts and tighten to 5 Nm. There should be a gap between the
faceplate and bottom of the stem. For more details visit:

Loosen bolt with 4 mm

Tighten to 7 Nm afterwards.
Slide saddle back or forth.
Tilt saddle back/forth
Saddle:
The saddle can be adjusted in tilt and moved back/forth. Most like their saddle horizontal to
the ground but some with a little tilt. To tilt it, follow the diagram (R6) below. The saddle is
set in the middle but to micro adjust the reach, the saddle can be moved back or forth at the
same time when tilting the saddle.
R4 R5
Loosen bolts with
4mm hex/allen key.
Remove top-cap with
6mm hex/allen key.
Remove spacers.

Stem:
The bike is delivered with the maximum amount of spacers (20mm below the stem and
15mm over the stem). There should always be at least 5mm of spacer above the stem. The
stem can be adjusted in two ways to accommodate different rider t. Either by moving it up
or down by putting spacers that are above it underneath it and/or by ipping the stem up-
side down. This will allow the rider to go from a very racey (R4) postion to a more
up-rigth position (R5). Remember to check the “Assembly Guide” or the stem
manufacturer’s guide lines when tightening.

R7
Loosen seatclamp
bolt with 4mm
hex/allen key

2.Slide saddle up or down.
Make sure to align the nose of the
saddle along the top tube.
Top Tube
Saddle Nose
Seatpost:
The saddle can be adjusted in height by loosening the bolt on the seatclamp and sliding the
seatpost up or down (R7). A good rule of thumb is to adjust the height such that when you
sit in the saddle and put your heels on the pedals your knee should be straight. Ensure the
minimum insertion length indication on the Seatpost Shaft (MINIMUM INSERTION) is below
the top of seat tube (R8). Tighten the seatpost clamp to 5 Nm (R7).
R8
Going on an adventure? If you decide to use frame bags, saddle bags or any other bags that
are strapped on the bike please make sure you protect the frame/fork/seatpost/handlebar
with a frame protector or just simply a packing tape. Make sure to cover all areas where the
bags can touch the bicycle.
Bike Packing
For each ride make sure there’s no play in the headset, the handlebar is rm, the hub thru-
axles are tight, the brakes are working properly, cables don’t rub frame/fork and the chain is
clean and lubed. Always pay attention if you hear or feel something new as your bike might
need some love and care.
To check if there is play in the headset you lock the front brake with one hand, place the
ngers of your other hand where the headset cup and frame meet, move the bike back
and forth and check if you can feel any play. If there is play you loosen the two stem clamp
bolts with a 4 mm hex/allen key (don’t remove them), tighten the top cap with a 6 mm hex/
allen key until there is no play (don’t overtighten), make sure the stem is aligned to the front
wheel and tighten the two stem clamp bolts again (5 Nm).
In case you crash please examine frame, fork, seatpost and handlebar for any visible cracks
as well as making sure everything is aligned and tightened properly.
