Routing chain
Normally, our recumbent is suitable for people with 165cm~195cm tall. As a result, we
always make our front boom long enough to fit various peoples’ height. Some people
need to cut boom shorter to find suitable position.
Insert front boom to main frame then sit on seat and step vertically on pedal and move
front boom in or out to adjust a comfortable leg length. No matter you decide to cut the
boom or not, make sure the crank leg never touch the wheel when turning. If touched,
that means the boom is too further in. Please move backward. When the boom can not
be inserted further in frame tube and it is still far for your leg to reach pedal, you need to
cut is shorter. When cutting the boom, don’t forget to the reserve extra 10cm more on the
boom to clamp in the frame. Once you find out a proper leg length, tighten front boom.

Adjust the chain length
The proper chain length is determined by the sitting place of rear derailleur (pic 9). When
the derailleur cage is sitting too high, the chain is too long (pic 10). On the other hand,
the chain is too short
1. Shift onto the smallest chainring in the front and shift down to the smallest cog in
the rear
2. Pull the chain taut until the rear derailleur is extended like pic 9
3. Check the sitting place of rear derailleur
4. Use the master link to hold the chain together

Adjust OSS handlebar
By adjusting stem
To adjust the angle of handlebar, push the raiser forward and turn the backstop screw in or
out. The backstop screw is close to the stem axle. Turing bolt in and out to let handlebar fold
further back or up. Don’t turn the screw out so far which will touch the top of stem when folded
back.
By spacer
If the handlebar is too high to hold after you screw in so far. Please take apart the stem first
then take out spacers from fork. There are 2~4 spacers with 1cm in width. The more spacer
you take off the lower handlebar is. Most riders only need to take 2 spacers off and adjust the
backstop screw. Please note that the handlebar should not touch your knees while riding.
Afterward, install the stem and extra spacer you took off then tighten it.
By fork
If you want to cut fork shorter, the cutting distance is based on 1cm (spacer width) and it’s
multiple. You can contact with your local bike shop to cut for you, if you are not familiar with
doing that.
By Cutting riser
In case you are still not comfortable with handlebar position, you can cut the raiser shorter.
1. Remove shifter and brake cable
2. Remove the top cap.
3. Loosen the riser clamp.
4. Take off riser from steer tube
5. Pull out riser
6. Cut the riser to the desired length.
7. Reassemble.
