3.3. Correcting the Fore-to-Aft Position and Tilt

of the Saddle

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

pedalling power, are partially influenced by the distance between the

grips of the handlebars and the saddle as well as by the tilt of the sad-

dle. This distance can be altered slightly by changing the position of the

saddle rails in the seat post clamp. However, this also influences your

pedalling. Depending on whether the saddle is positioned more to the

front or more rearwards, your legs will reach the pedals to a greater or

lesser extent from behind.

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 han-

dlebars to prevent yourself from slipping off the saddle.

An inappropriate saddle position or unsuitable saddle models may

numb your crotch and cause blood flow disorders in your genital area.

Ask your STEVENS dealer for advice.

3.3.1. Adjusting Saddle Position and Tilt

• With patent seat posts a single bolt or two parallel bolts fix the

clamping mechanism, which controls both the tilt and the horizontal

position of the saddle. Some seat posts have two bolts which allow a

still more precise adjustment of the angle position.

• Move the saddle forward or backward by sliding its rails in the loos-

ened seat post clamp. You may have to give it a light blow to move it.

• Make sure the seat of the saddle remains horizontal as you retighten

the bolt. The bike should stand on level ground while you adjust the

saddle.

• Tighten the bolts with a torque wrench.

• After fastening the saddle check whether it resists tilting by bringing

your weight to bear on it once with your hands on the tip and once at

the rear end.

Adjusting the Bicycle to the Rider

• Release the bolt(s) at the top of the seat post. Turn the bolt anticlock-

wise no more than two to three turns to begin with, otherwise the

whole assembly can come apart.

Note:

The setting range of the

saddle is very small; replac-

ing the stem allows you to

make far bigger adjustments

to the rider’s fore-to-aft

position, as stems come in

dierent lengths. Replacing

the stem allows you to make

far larger changes to the

fore-to-aft position, because

stems come in lengths

diering by more than ten

centimetres. In most of

the cases the length of the

cables must be adjusted.

For these changes ask your

STEVENS dealer for help!

Danger: Note that the bolted connections of the seat post

have to be tightened to the specified torque

values. You will find the values in chapter “Recommended Torque Set-

tings” and in the operating instructions on the STEVENS CD-ROM or on

the components.
