LeMond g-force UT - Manual (Page 9)


3 SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE g•force UT
Adjusting the fore/aft position:
1. Turn the handlebar adjustment knob counter clockwise and slide the handlebars either forward
or backward as desired.
2. The fore/aft position should be set to allow the rider to comfortably grasp the handles with a
slight bend at the elbow.
3. Tighten by turning the knob clockwise and note the final position for future reference.
.1. Pedal Strap Adjustment
The straps of the g•force UT are designed to allow you to adjust the pedal to your individual foot size.
The pedals include spring-loaded, locking clips for easy adjustments. Follow the steps below to adjust
the straps so that your foot does not slip or slide about on the pedal.
1. Place the ball of each foot on the center of the pedal and under the strap.
2. Rotate the pedals until one foot is in the position closest to you.
3. To tighten the strap, simply pull down on the end of the strap until it fits snugly over your shoe.
Make sure that the strap is secure, but not overly tight or pressing uncomfortably on your foot.
4. Repeat these steps for the other foot.
5. To loosen the pedal strap, press down at the top of the clip that holds the strap secure, and pull
the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap into place.
Now that you have established a riding position, take a few minutes to ride the bike and confirm that
your position is comfortable. Start pedaling at a slow pace with your toes and knees pointed directly for-
ward. Hold the grips lightly and in a position that allows your shoulders and upper body to relax. Pedal
easily at a low resistance until you feel confident that you could ride in that position comfortably for the
duration of your workout.
