ADJUSTING THE RIDING POSITION

HOW CAN I CHECK MY SEATING POSITION?

A good riding position is important for your

comfort and for optimal performance on the

bike. You need to adjust saddle and handle-

bars very precisely to ensure the best possi-

ble ﬁt. Several components on the Birdy are

designed to adjust to suit your body dimen-

sions. If required, you dealer will be pleased

to change the stem on your Birdy.

ADJUSTING FOR THE CORRECT SADDLE HEIGHT

The need for a comfortable pedaling action

determines the saddle height. It’s important

that when you pedal, the ball of the foot

should be over the center of the pedal axle.

When the pedal is at its lowest position your

leg should not be quite fully extended. If

the saddle is too high, it’s hard to get round

this lowest point, and the pedaling action

becomes uneven. If the saddle is too low,

you’re likely to experience knee pain.

Check the seat height using the following

simple procedure. Use shoes with a ﬂat sole

for this check:

• Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the

pedal, so that it moves to its lowest posi-

tion. In this position the leg should be fully

extended. Note that the hips should stay

straight and level.

• To adjust the seat height, you need to undo

the quick-release.

• The loosened seatpost can now be adjust-

ed for height. Make sure that the seatpost

is not greased. If it doesn’t slide smoothly in

the frame, clean out and remove all grease

from inside the frame and on the seatpost.

If you have further problems, consult your

dealer. It should never require extreme

force to adjust the seatpost.

• Set the saddle straight, by lining up the

saddle nose either with the bottom bracket

or the main frame tube. Close the quick

release.

• Check that the seatpost is securely xed

by grasping the front and rear of the sad-

dle and attempting to twist it. If it doesn’t

move at all, it’s secure.

• Does the leg extension seem correct when

you repeat the test? Check it by moving

your foot to the ideal pedaling position,

with the ball of the foot above the pedal

axle. The knee should now be slightly bent

All of the procedures we are about

to describe require a certain

de-gree of skill, suitable tools and

mechanical aptitude. After any as-

sembly or maintenance procedure,

perform the Quick Check (see page

8) and take a short test-ride some-

where quiet, away from trac.

This lets you check in safety that

everything works properly. If you

have any doubts, it’s best just to do

the riding position check, and then

to explain any changes you’d like

to your dealer. They can carry out

your requests with all the proper

tools and skills, perhaps in con-

junction with the rst inspection.
