Operating Instructions
Adjusting Your Riding Position
- Saddle Height: Adjust the saddle so that your leg has a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point.
- Saddle Fore/Aft: Position the saddle so your knee is directly above the pedal spindle when the pedals are horizontal.
- Handlebar Height: Adjust handlebars for a comfortable upper body posture, avoiding excessive strain on your back or wrists.
Using the Resistance System
The DrumFit Indoor Bike features variable manual resistance. The resistance is controlled by a knob located on the frame, typically near the handlebars.
- Increase Resistance: Turn the resistance knob clockwise to increase the intensity of your workout.
- Decrease Resistance: Turn the resistance knob counter-clockwise to decrease the intensity.
- Emergency Stop: Push down firmly on the resistance knob to engage the emergency brake and quickly stop the flywheel.
