HOW TO ADJUST THE LIVESTRONG S-Series Indoor Cycle

Handlebar adjustment:

Begin with the top of the handlebar at relatively the same height or just slightly higher than
the top of the saddle (dotted horizontal line A in the drawing below) and at a neutral
fore/aft position (see dotted vertical line B in drawing below). If your knees touch the
handlebars or if you experience back discomfort while pedalling for extended periods of
time, the height of the handlebars can be adjusted. First, dismount the LIVESTRONG S-
Series Indoor Cycle.
Next, turn the front adjustment knob counter clockwise, slide the handlebar post up or
down, and then retighten the adjustment knob.

Next, the horizontal position of the handlebar should be adjusted. If the handlebar is
too close to the saddle, your breathing may feel restricted; if the handlebar is too far
from the saddle, you may experience back discomfort. To adjust the horizontal position
of the handlebar, first dismount the LIVESTRONG S-Series Indoor Cycle. Check for proper
handlebar position by positioning your elbow so that it is touching the front tip of the saddle
at a 90 degree angle and checking that the fingertip of your middle finger is touching the
handlebar at the mid-point. If it is not as described then loosen the fore/aft lever handle and
slide the handlebar forward or backward until your middle finger is touching the handlebar
at the mid-point, and then retighten the lever handle.
The handlebar offers a wide variety of hand positions for personal preferences. Changing
your hand position can change the angle of your back, neck, and arms. To minimize the
stress on your muscles during your workouts, change your hand position frequently.
