Correcting the Fore-to-Aft Position and Tilt of the Saddle

The inclination of your upper body, and hence your riding comfort and riding

dynamics, 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 ped-

alling. Whether the saddle is positioned more to the front or to the back of the

bicycle will alter how rearward the pedalling position of your legs is. 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.

Adjusting Saddle Position and Tilt

There are some seat posts mounted to STEVENS bicycles which have two Allen

bolts positioned one after the other holding the seat post head and ﬁxing the tilt

as well as the horizontal position of the saddle. Some seat posts have two bolts

side-by-side.

Release the bolt(s) at the top of the seat post. Release the bolt(s) two to three

turns anticlockwise at the most, otherwise the whole assembly can come apart.

Move the saddle forward or backward by sliding its rails in the loosened seat post

clamp. You may have to give the saddle a light tap to move it.

With patent seat posts a single bolt ﬁxes the clamping mechanism, which

controls both the tilt and the horizontal position of the saddle. Some seat posts

have two bolts side-by-side.

Observe the markings on the saddle rail. Make sure the seat of the saddle

remains horizontal as you retighten the bolt(s). The STEVENS bicycle should stand

on level ground while you adjust the saddle.

Danger:

Poorly tightened or

loosening bolts can fail.

Risk of accident!

Danger:

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 centime-

tres. In this case you

usually would have to

adjust the length of the

cables – a job best left

to your STEVENS dealer!

Having found your preferred position, make sure both clamp halves ﬁt snugly

around the saddle rails before tightening the bolt(s) to the correct torque value as

prescribed by the seat post manufacturer.

Retighten the bolt(s) with a torque wrench according to the instructions of

the manufacturer. After fastening the saddle, check whether it resists tilting by

bringing your weight to bear on it once with your hands at either end of the saddle.

Danger:

The bolted connections of the seat post have to be tightened to the pre-

scribed torque value. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum

torque values! You will ﬁnd the prescribed values in chapter “Recom-

mended Torque Settings”, directly on the components and/or in the

operating instructions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed

CD-ROM.

Danger:

Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the

saddle rail. Otherwise the saddle rail can fail! Check the bolts by using a

torque wrench once a month according to the values indicated directly

on the components and/or in the operating instructions of the component

manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Danger:

Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a month according to

the values indicated directly on the components and/or in the operating

instructions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Danger:

The saddle clamping

bolts are among the

most delicate bolts of

the entire STEVENS

bicycle. Therefore,

strictly observe the

recommended minimum

and maximum torque

values. Do not under- or

overtighten. You will

ﬁnd the prescribed

values in chapter

“Recommended Torque

Settings”, directly on

the components and/or

in the operating instruc-

tions of the component

manufacturers on the

enclosed CD-ROM.

Always use a torque

wrench.
