Probably one of the shortest but most comprehensive videos on the subject. I feel confident doing this myself now. Thank you!!!

Bro same exact bike, first trail bike and I was new so the worker suggested the size I got (I think L) and I said "I can't even touch the ground" he was like yeah dunny

@Lolimaster 3 года назад

The only bad thing is that for city riding its better to have more of the feet in contact with the ground. Really helps to minimize injuries if fall for any reason (except being hit).

@brianworden7022 2 года назад

Yeah, I would rather be able to fully touch the ground when stopped.

What if the seat is too high, but won't go any lower? I have a Marlin 4. Do you recommend cutting the post?

You can cut standard seatposts if the saddle needs to go lower than what the post allows!

just make it perfectly level and make small adjustments based on your comfort while riding.

I adjusted my saddle and i go faster and more comfortable on my new trek fx3. But i have i bit of an annoying creak coming from the seat post now - how do i fix that?

@trekbikes 2 года назад

If you have a creak coming from your seatpost, try removing the post and applying assembly grease to the seat tube!

@Big_Boss92 2 года назад

@@trekbikes hi i didn't have any grease as i am new to cycling. I took it into my local Trek dealer and they couldn't solve the issue. So I left the bike with them to identify the sound and they found something wrong with the rear wheel and replaced it under warranty. Bike is barely 2 months old and surprised something went wrong already considering I keep this bike in mint condition.

@codybrown5408 10 месяцев назад

Hex keys are not specialized tools. Most ikea furniture comes with a 4mm hex key. You most likely have one laying around in a drawer somewhere. Torque wrenches are a little less common but still a really cheap easy to find hand tool.
