Saddle height
When the cyclist is sitting on the bicycle and
can put a foot on the pedal in the lowest
position, the saddle height is correct Adjust
the saddle height in such a way that the leg is
stretched but relaxed in that position
To adjust the saddle:
1 Open the quick-clamp [A]
2 Slide the saddle to the correct height
3 Close the quick-clamp
Make sure clothing cannot get
caught in the clamp!
If the clamp closes too easily, the
clamping force is too lo . In this case,
open the clamp and tighten the nut (B)
a bit more. If a lot of force is necessary
to close the clamp, the nut should be
loosened slightly.
Do not pull out the saddle pin further than the
marking The tube will not go into the shank deep
enough and will risk coming off This can lead to
serious injuries
