The Saddle Devil - How To Narrow Saddles To narrow a saddle, place the long convex ram onto the hydraulic jack.
Push down fully then tighten the valve on the jack. Rest the underside
of the pommel onto the pad of the ram; making sure that the saddle is
square. Place the protecting pads onto the top of the saddle. Pump the
handle of the jack; this may take several repartitions to start any movement.
When the saddle with the protectors reach the underside of the rollers,
pull the protectors upwards by the elastic strip, so that one third is
in contact on both sides, of the rollers. Look at the above image to
see where the pads are in relation to the rollers. When satisfied that
everything is square. Pump the handle on the jack, the pressure will
increase and narrow the saddle. You can look on the other side of the
machine to see how much the saddle has narrowed. When the desired width
has been reached unscrew the release valve on the jack by half or so
turns. Take out the saddle and stamp the sweat flap with the arrows pointing
inwards. |
