User manual GIANT BICYCLES TEMPO

[. . . ] Whether you want to go easy or hard, for a long time or just a short while, TempoTM will make indoor exercise more enjoyable and beneficial. Before using your TempoTM Indoor Exercise Bicycle, it is essential to read this entire manual carefully. No one should use this equipment without first reading, and following, the instructions and safety warnings contained in this manual. The TempoTM indoor exercise bicycle is not a toy, and it is not intended for use by children. [. . . ] Also adjust the tilt of your Tempo'sTM saddle so that is level to the ground. A carpenter's level will make this job easier. · Place a straight edge ruler or 2 X 4 on top of your bike's saddle and extend it out over your handlebar, making sure the straight edge is level or parallel to the ground. Measure the distance from the bottom edge of the straight edge to the top of your handle bar near the handlebar stem. Raise or lower the handlebar stem height on your TempoTM until you duplicate this position. · Finally, measure the distance from the nose of your road bike saddle to the front of the handlebar. Duplicate this position on your TempoTM by sliding the handlebar forward or back. Keep in mind these steps will get your Tempo'sTM riding position close to the riding position on your bike. You may have to make further adjustments to compensate for different pedals, riding shoes, saddle, handlebar and crank arm length. Also, it is a good idea to make a note of the saddle height, saddle fore/aft position, handlebar height and handlebar for/aft position you've calculated in the event you have to re-set them again. Reference numbers are provided on the seat post (Fig. 4), saddle base, handlebar stem and handlebar base for this purpose. 5 F IGURE 4 C. Adjusting Your TempoTM There are five different adjustment features available on your TempoTM to ensure your workouts are comfortable and provide maximum benefit. Taking the time to carefully adjust your TempoTM to your dimensions is strongly recommended. Keep in mind that the steps which follow will establish a basic neutral riding position which will work for most people, but perhaps not for you. Giant recommends following these steps and riding your TempoTM for a week or two before making further adjustments. When further adjustments are necessary, make them in small increments of approximately two millimeters at a time. · Adjust the saddle tilt by loosening the saddle clamp nut (Fig. 5) under the saddle with a 14 millimeter wrench or adjustable "crescent" wrench. Position the saddle so it is level with the ground. A carpenter's level may make this adjustment easier. When the saddle is level, re-tighten the nut while holding the saddle in place. · Adjust the saddle height so that when the ball of your foot is on the pedal and the pedal is in the lowest position, your knee is slightly bent. . If your saddle is at the correct height, your knee will be slightly below your hip at the top of the pedal stroke (your knee should not come above your hip at the top of the pedal stroke).
