Before the first ride: adjusting your
new Street Machine GT
The seating position is essential for your riding
comfort, well-being and efficient cycling on the
Street Machine GT.Therefore you should ad-
just the frame, seat, handlebar and suspension
to your individual requirements.
In order to adapt the Street Machine GT as
closely as possible to your body dimensions
and to find the ideal seating position you need
to adjust the front boom, seat and handlebars.
Adjusting the leg length: moving the
front boom
In order to adjust the leg length you have to
move the front boom (the front part of the
frame where the cranks are mounted) within
the main frame. Unscrew the screw M8x35 un-
der the main tube with a 6 mm Allen key.Take
a grip on the front changer tube or both
cranks and move the front boom into the fra-
me or pull it out while cautiously turning it.
When you pull out the front boom shift the
chain on the smallest chain ring and sprocket
and turn the cranks a little bit backwards whi-
le pulling.Thus the chain is not under tension.
Adjusting the leg length
Danger! All procedures described here re-
quire a certain degree of skill, suitable tools
and mechanical aptitude.After any adjust-
ment perform a static check and take a test-
ride on a quiet street, away from traffic. If
you have any doubts please contact your lo-
cal dealer.
Caution! After you have unscrewed the
clamping screws take them off and examine
them for deformation. Lubricate threads and
heads thoroughly.Then re-fit the screws. If
they don't turn easily you will have to repla-
ce the screws.
Unscrew the clamping screw to adjust the front boom.
