After you have adjusted the front boom you
should seal the gap in the clamping slot bet-
ween the front boom and the main frame with
wax or silicone in order to protect your frame
from the penetration of water and dirt and
hence damage through corrosion which may
lead to a broken frame.
We recommend you to slightly readjust the
front boom every 3 months so that knee, mus-
cless and ankles will be used differently, and
you might find a more comfortable and more
efficient riding position.
A wrong adjustment may lead to pain in your
knees and inefficient pedaling. In addition we
recommend to ride with a high pedaling ca-
dence, which means to pedal fast and with litt-
le pressure. Pedaling with too much pressure
may also lead to pain in the knees.You will find
more information about this on page 26.
