When people purchase a Trek bike for the first time, there are a lot of questions that crop up. Especially for those new to cycling.

Don't worry, there are plenty of people in the same boat as you, and the answer to your question is as simple as the games you play on PartyPoker or the Wii. They are simple like riding a bike. Once you've learn how, you won't forget.

Listed below are three frequently asked questions.

How to raise the seat

If your Trek bike has a rear shock, the seat should be tilted slightly toward the rear wheel to compensate for your body weight. Then to adjust, loosen the bolts underneath the seat. Make sure you use an appropriate open-ended metric wrench for the job. Move your seat up or down, dependent on how you need it and tighten the bolts back up again.

Where is the bike serial number?

You will find the serial number near the bottom bracket area of your bike. Most of the new Trek bikes have a decal with a serial number bar code on. If you have a newer model, the serial numbers should begin with WTU, WL, WR or WW. If you have an older model, the serial will be stamped in the metal.

Adjusting Trek bicycle handlebars

Both the stem and the handlebar itself can be adjusted on a Trek bike. It is easy. Loosen the bolt on the stem connecting the handlebar to the bike. This will make the expander wedge inside the bike stem loosen too. Pull the stem up and twist to extend the height of the stem. Pushing down instead will lower it. Tighten the bolt again once the handlebars are aligned.

Next you need to loosen the bolts connecting the handlebars to the stem, and tilt them up or down to suit the rider. Then tighten the two bolts back up, and you are ready to go.
