If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and fore-and-
aft position, your saddle is still uncomfortable, you may need a
different saddle design. Saddles, like people, come in many
different shapes, sizes and resilience. Your dealer can help you
select a saddle which, when correctly adjusted for your body and
riding style, will be comfortable.
WARNING!
Some people have claimed that extended riding with a saddle
which is incorrectly adjusted or which does not support your
pelvic area correctly can cause short-term or long-term injury to
nerves and blood vessels, or even impotence. If your saddle
causes you pain, numbness or other discomfort, listen to your
body and stop riding until you can contact a bicycle specialist
about saddle adjustment or a different saddle.
A.3.3 Handlebar Height and Angle
Your bike is equipped either with a threadless stem, which clamps
on to the outside of the steerer tube, or with a quill stem, which
clamps inside the steerer tube by way of an expanding binder bolt.
If you aren't absolutely sure which type of stem your bike has,
contact customer service
Threadless
If your bike has a threadless stem your dealer may be able to
change handlebar height by moving height adjustment spacers
from below the stem to above the stem, or vice versa.
Otherwise, you'll have to get a stem of different length or rise.
Contact customer service. Do not attempt to do this yourself, as it
requires special knowledge. Figure 1.6
