SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The seating position depends highly on how you want to use the URBAN JUNGLE bike. Ask your URBAN JUNGLE dealer or your trainer for help. The advice given below is suitable for typical URBAN JUNGLE city, trekking and urban bikes.
If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your crotch, this may be due to the saddle. Your URBAN JUNGLE dealer has a very wide range of saddles available and will be pleased to advise you.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT
The correct saddle height depends on the length of your legs. When pedalling, the ball of your foot should be positioned above the center of the pedal axle. With your feet in this position you should not be able to stretch your legs completely straight at the lowest point (a), otherwise your pedalling will become awkward.
Check the height of your saddle with flat-soled shoes. This is best done with suitable cycling shoes.
Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg should be fully stretched and your hips should remain horizontal.
To adjust the saddle height loosen the quick-release lever (see the chapter «Using quick-re- leases“) or the binder bolt of the seat post clamp at the top of the seat tube (b).
The latter requires suitable tools, e.g. an Allen key, with which you turn the bolt two to three turns anticlockwise. Now you can perform the vertical adjustment of the seat post.
Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far. The mark on the seat post (max., min., stop or the like) should always remain within the seat tube (c). Always grease the surface of an aluminium or titanium seat post that is inserted into a seat tube made of aluminium, titanium or steel. Do not grease carbon seat posts and/or carbon seat tubes in the clamping area! Use special carbon assembly paste instead.
