Adjusting the leg length

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 adjust 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.

Danger! All procedures described here require a certain degree of skill, suitable tools and mechanical aptitude.After any adjustment perform a static check and take a test- ride on a quiet street, away from traffic. If you have any doubts please contact your local dealer.

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 under 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 frame 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 while pulling.Thus the chain is not under tension.

Adjusting your new bike

Unscrew the clamping screw to adjust the front boom.

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 replace the screws.
