5.1 Adjusting Seat and Handlebars

Proper adjustment of the seat and handlebars is crucial for comfort and effective training. The BH Vienna allows for both vertical and horizontal adjustments.

• Seat Height: Loosen the adjustment knob on the vertical seat post. Raise or lower the seat until your leg has a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. Tighten the knob securely. The graduated markings on the post help in recalling your preferred setting.
• Seat Horizontal Position: Loosen the adjustment knob under the seat. Slide the seat forward or backward to achieve a comfortable position relative to the handlebars. Tighten the knob securely.
• Handlebar Height: Loosen the adjustment knob on the handlebar post. Raise or lower the handlebars to a comfortable height, typically level with or slightly higher than the seat for beginners, or lower for a more aggressive cycling posture. Tighten the knob securely.
