SEAT ADJUSTmENT
Proper seat height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the seat height to
make sure of this proper position:
• The knee joint is slightly flexed when the extended leg is at the bottom of the pedal stroke.
• Your foot ankle is over the center of the pedal.
To adjust the seat height:
Dismount the bike and release the quick release lever for the seat height adjustment. Once loosened, raise or lower the seat post
as necessary. When the seat is in the desired position, re-apply the quick release lever to lock the position. Note the final position
mark on the seat post for future use.
To adjust the seat horizontal position:
Dismount the bike and release the quick release lever under the seat and slide the seat forward or backward as desired. Re-apply
the quick release lever to lock. Note the final position mark on the seat slider for future use.
HANDLEbAR ADJUSTmENT
Proper position for the handlebar is based primarily on comfort. The Indoor Cycle allows for fore and aft adjustment of the handlebar.
Typically, the handlebar should be positioned slightly higher than the seat for beginning cyclists. Advanced cyclists could try different
heights to get the arrangement most suitable for you.
To adjust the handlebar height:
Release the quick release lever for the handlebar height adjustment. Raise or lower the handlebar to the desired height, and then
re-apply the quick release lever to lock. Note the final position mark on the handlebar stem for future use.
To adjust the handlebar horizontal position:
Loosen the quick release for the handlebar fore-and-aft tension handle. Move the handlebar forward or back to the desired position,
and then re-apply the quick release lever to lock. Note the final position mark on the handlebar slider for future use.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTmENT
Place each foot on the pedal and in the toe clip so that the ankle is centered over the pedal spindle (center of the pedal). Rotate one
foot to arms reach and pull up on the toe clip strap. Repeat for the other foot. Keep your knees over your feet as you pedal. To remove
your foot from the toe clip, loosen the strap and pull out.
