Setup, Compatibility & Care

Saddle Height Adjustment: Use a hex key to adjust the saddle height to achieve the correct leg extension. A good starting point is to have a slight bend in your knee when your heel is on the pedal at its lowest point. Fine-tune this based on comfort and power output.
Saddle Angle Adjustment: Adjust the saddle angle using the clamp bolts. Start with a neutral position (parallel to the ground) and make small adjustments to find the angle that provides the best comfort and pressure distribution.
Fore/Aft Adjustment: Slide the saddle forward or backward on the rails to optimize your position relative to the handlebars and pedals. This adjustment affects your reach and weight distribution.
Compatibility: This saddle is compatible with seatposts that accept 7x7 mm rails.
Care: Wipe the saddle with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Check for wear and tear regularly, especially on the cover and rails.
