Adjustments & Setup - Tunturi Platinum Sprinter Handbuch

Adjustments & setup
Take some time to learn how to properly adjust the bike to
your body; it will make your workouts more pleasant and
a safer experience too. Riding the bike when it is incor-
rectly adjusted can result in discomfort and increase your
risk of injury.
Adjustment of Seat Position
Seat Height Adjustment:
1. Standing next to the bike,
adjust seat until it is about hip
height.
2. Rotate crank arms until the pe-
dals are in the vertical position
3. Place your foot in toe cage of
pedal closest to the floor and
mount the bike. Ensure that
the ball of your foot is over
the center of pedal. Your leg
should be slightly bent at the knee, about 5 degrees.
4. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch
pedal you will need to lower seat height. If your leg
is bent too much you will need to raise seat height.
5. Dismount the bike. Loosen the quick release lever on
seat tube and adjust up or down as necessary.
6. When seat is in the desired position, tighten the quick
release lever to secure the seat tube.
7. Note the final position mark on the seat tube for future
reference.
Seat Forward Adjustment:
8. Sit on bike with crank arms in
the 3 and 9 o'clock positions.
For road bike training, a pro-
per forward/aft position of the
seat is achieved when small
bump at the top of the shin is
above pedal axle.
9. Dismount the bike. Loosen the
quick release lever under the
seat and slide the seat for-
ward or backward as desired; then tighten the quick
release lever.
Handlebar Adjustment
Handlebar Height Adjust-
ment:
1. The Handlebar height is a
matter of preference. Start
with a handlebar height that is
the same as the seat's height.
Adjusting the handlebar higher
will give the rider a more up-
right position; lower will result
in a more crouched position.
2. Raise or lower the handlebar
by loosening quick release lever on handlebar tube
and adjust by sliding the handlebar mount up or
down as desired. Then tighten the quick release lever
to secure the handlebar tube. Note the final position
mark on handlebar tube for future reference.
Adjustment of Handlebar's Forward/Aft Posi-
tion:
3. Loosen the quick release lever under the handlebar
and slide the handlebar forward or backward as
desired. Suitable forward/aft position should allow
the rider to comfortably grasp the handlebar with a
slight bend at the elbow.
4. Tighten the quick release lever to secure the handle-
bar.
How to use our dual function pedal
Attaching Cleats to Your Shoes:
If you have questions it is recommended that you consult a
bicycle dealer for assistance, or refer to your shoe manu-
facturer's instructions.
When fixing the cleat the lateral center line should be un-
der the center of the ball of the foot. Adjust forward and
backward via the slots in the shoe sole. Adjust laterally
via play between cleat washer and cleat. Tighten cleats
very firmly. Cleat position can be fine-tuned, according to
personal preference, after trial use. It may take time to find
your optimum cleat set-up.
Toe Clips:
All standard toe clips can be attached to the pedals. Use
fixing hardware and installation instructions supplied with
toe clips and ensure the attachment screws are firmly
tightened before use.
To Use Pedals:
Engage cleated shoes in pedals by placing cleat between
bindings while pushing down.
Disengage by twisting heel outwards away from exercise
bike.
Binding tension is adjustable and should be set so that
cleat and shoe do not disengage when pedaling. Use an
Allen key to turn tension adjusting screws, clockwise to
increase binding tension, counterclockwise to decrease
binding tension.
