Adjust Saddle Position On A Bike
Step 1
Two Types Of Fitting
The seat may be fitted to a cylindrical seat-pin via a clamp locked with hexagonal nuts on either side, or by a bolt – or bolts – and clamp that is integrated into the seat pin.
Step 2
Measure saddle position
Measure the horizontal distance between the nose of the seat and the handlebars
Step 3
Unclamp
Unlock the clamp then slide the saddle position forward or back.
Pro Tip
Step 4
Tilt saddle position
The saddle position can be adjusted to ‘nose-up’ or ‘nose-down’. If you’re not sure of your best position start with the top horizontal. Some micro-adjust seat-pins have a big bolt to lock and a small bolt to make fine adjustment. Release the big bolt first, then make adjustments with the small bolt then re-clamp the saddle with the big bolt.
Step 5
Tighten Twice
Once you have a desirable saddle position, lock it finger-tight double-check it’s where it’s meant to be then lock fully.
