A.3.2 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:
• 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. Figure 1.3
