"For bikes that don't have quick release like this it basically looks like the other side of this dual lever it is just a bolt the bolt is on the right side and not the left side like this one cause there is a lever on the other side. But we would stick a tool in there and we would lower or raise the seat height. So I'm going to take this is a 4 millimeter wrench, I'm going to loosen it so I can adjust the seat height and there we go. So finding the right seat height is another matter entirely. What I like to do as just a rule of thumb I like to find something to lean against, get back on the bike and when you are wearing the shorts or pants that you ride in, the shoes that you ride in and I don't usually ride in these pants or shoes. What I do is look for the appropriate knee angle at the bottom of the pedal stroke which is about the angle I have here like a 20-25 degree angle. I can probably lower my seat a little bit but when you lower your seat to much you end up having a pretty uncomfortable riding position. It is not as efficient you sort of hurt your knees and all that good stuff. Seat to high also not efficient also right for injury. The best way to measure seat height is the tape measure, measuring it consistently from the center of the bottom bracket which is that bolt right there to the center of the seat tube. I like to measure it starting from the 10 millimeter mark just line that up to the center of the bolt and then up to the center of the saddle. It looks like I set my seat right just by guessing there cause I like to ride a 73.25 millimeters seat height and that is what we got. So don't run your seat to high, try to record or remember what your measurements are encase you have to mess with things, make sure you have your seat nice and level and get out there and have a good ride."

The first and most fundamental thing is never hike alone. There are too many situations, especially as an unexperienced hiker, where you may find yourself without anyone to help you. So the buddy system works and applies very much in hiking.
