Cable stops

Tension the cable stops on the AX-Lightness and

engage frame according to the force progression

only in direction of the gear or brake cable routing.

Forces acting at an oblique angle or against the di-

rection of the cable routing can cause damage to the

AX-Lightness and engage frame.

Seat post

AX-Lightness and engage recommend using frames

with AX-Lightness or engage seat posts (a). The com-

ponents t and function as integrated whole and will

allow you to achieve optimum performance.

In case you want to mount the seat post of anoth-

er manufacturer after all, make sure it has the same

nominal diameter as the frame’s seat tube (b). You

should be able to slide the seat post easily into the

frame without pressing or turning. A mismatch be-

tween frame and seat post can cause failure of the

AX-Lightness and engage seat post.

An AX-Lightness and engage carbon seat post and an

AX-Lightness and engage carbon seat tube must be

free of oil and grease. Clean the seat tube, if necessary.

Once you have found the desired saddle height, mark

the position of the seat post e.g. with an adhesive

tape. Pull the seat post out subsequently. Apply a thin

layer of AX-Lightness carbon assembly paste inside

the seat tube and outside the seat post in the area of

the clamping (c). Re-mount the seat post and bring it

into the desired position.

Do not overtighten the seat post binder bolt (d). Ob-

serve the notes given in the chapter “Adjusting the

saddle to the correct height” and also consider the

manuals of the component manufacturers of another

brand.

Overtightening may cause the failure of an AX-Light-

ness and engage seat post, resulting in an accident

and/or injury of the rider.

The diameter of all AX-Lightness and engage seat

tubes is designed for seat posts at a nominal diame-

ter of 27.2 mm

(e).

AX-Lightness and engage recommend using solely

AX-Lightness or engage seat posts with the frames.

Use special AX-Lightness carbon assembly

paste (f) to achieve maximum clamping

of the AX-Lightness and engage seat post

with minimum torque values.

Even a slight mismatch between seat post

and seat tube diameter can lead to a rup-

ture of the AX-Lightness and engage frame

or a carbon seat post. This can result in an

accident or injury to the rider.

Never grease AX-Lightness and engage car-

bon seat posts or seat tubes and frames.

Slide your AX-Lightness and engage seat

post into the seat tube beyond its mini-

mum mark and make sure its end reaches

beyond the top tube (g). Never ride your

AX-Lightness and engage bicycle with the

minimum mark of the seat post being visi-

ble or when the post is not clamped in the

area marked with UD-fabric.
