Lumbar Support Height:
The Lumbar Support assists in maintaining a comfortable and properly aligned riding position, and gives you
something to push against when accelerating and climbing hills. It should be positioned below the ribs at the lower
portion of your back. (FIG. 6)
The Lumbar Support’s adjustment knob is located on the rear of the support. To loosen
the knob, turn it counter clockwise until you can move the support. To tighten, turn
the knob clockwise until snug. Do not over tighten.(FIG. 7)
WARNING
Do not adjust any of the seating adjustment mechanisms while riding. Doing so could
cause you to lose control of the bicycle. Make sure all adjustment mechanisms are
properly locked and tightened before riding.
Handlebar/Stem Adjustment
The handlebar and the stem that it is attached to has adjustable height and reach to provide proper control and comfort.
The handlebar’s height should be slightly below chest level, and your elbows should have a slight bend when holding the handlebar. Your elbows
should not be bent past 90 degrees, nor should your arms be straight.(FIG. 8)
Handlebar Height
The handlebar/stem is adjusted with one quick-release lever, located on the right side of the Handlebar
Stem Housing.
To find the proper height and reach, first open the quick-release lever so that the
handlebar/stem is free to move forward and back, and up and down. Next, sit on the
saddle and lean lightly against the lumbar support. Move the handlebar/stem into the
desired position, then close the quick-release lever. Place the adjustment lever so that
it is vertical along the line of the Handlebar Stem Housing.(FIG. 9)
The adjustment lever should be checked for tightness periodically. If the lever is easy
to open and close, tighten the nut on left side of the Handlebar Stem Housing so that
it takes a relatively high amount of pressure to close the lever completely. If there is a clicking sound when tightening, this is normal.
WARNING
Do not raise the handlebar past the “minimum insertion” line.
WARNING
Never open the handlebar/stem adjustment lever while riding. Doing so could cause you to lose control of the bicycle.
