Adjusting S40 for small people with short legs

[ts40m]

Hi

I’m 73” and have a 90cm inseam. My wife is 65” with longer torso and shorter legs. I’ve got my S40 on a kikr and thought if I set it up with 155mm cranks she could use it also. But I couldn’t adjust it so she could reach the pedals. Is it expected that the S40 won’t fit a small person with relatively short legs, or should I be able to adjust it to fit her?

The boom on the front end is long from the factory to allow for a long X-seam fit. For some shorter X-seams it can be necessary to cut off some of the boom, as the end of the tube will butt up against the threaded inserts in the slider when inserted far in. Only cut off as much as is needed though - it is always best to have the max overlap of boom/slider.
