Saddle adjustment – fore-to-aft position and horizontal tilt
The inclination of your upper body (a), and hence your riding comfort and pedalling power, are also influenced by the distance between the grips of the handlebars and the saddle. This distance can be altered slightly by changing the position of the saddle rails in the seat post clamp. However, this also influences your pedaling. Whether the saddle is positioned more to the front or to the back of the bike will alter how rearward the pedalling position of your legs is.
Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the saddle rail, i.e. on the straight part of the rail, never in the curved sections.
You need to have the saddle horizontal in order to pedal in a relaxed manner. If it is tilted, you will constantly have to lean against the handlebars to prevent yourself from slipping off the saddle.
WARNING
The bolted connections of the seat post have to be tightened to the prescribed torque values (b). Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter «Recommended torque settings for your URBAN JUNGLE bike», directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers.
Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the saddle rail and not in the curved section of the saddle rails (c). Otherwise the saddle rail can fail! Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a month according to the prescribed values.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The setting range of the saddle is very small. Replacing the stem allows you to make far bigger adjustments to the rider’s fore-to-aft position, as stems come in different lengths. In doing so you may achieve differences of more than ten centimetres. In this case you usually would have to adjust the length of the cables – a job best left to your URBAN JUNGLE dealer!
The manufacturers of saddles deliver their products with detailed manuals. Read them carefully before adjusting the position of your saddle. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your dealer.
