Operating instructions

Make sure the lever is fully closed. Only in this posi-

tion maximum hold is achieved and it is ensured that

the quick-release remains closed.

In its end position, the lever should be parallel to the

bicycle (a), i.e. it should not stick out. The lever must

lie close to the frame so that it cannot be opened ac-

cidentally.

Finish by checking the rm hold of the saddle by tak-

ing hold of the saddle and trying to rotate it in the

seat post

(b). If the seat post is tight in the seat tube,

the saddle clamp is tight enough.

If the saddle can be moved around, re-open the

quick-release and increase the preload. To do so

screw the tightening nut on the opposite side clock-

wise by a quarter turn.

Close the lever again and check it again for tight-

ness. Once the saddle can no longer be moved, the

quick-release is tight.

Improperly closed quick-releases can make compo-

nents come loose.

AX-Lightness and engage strongly recom-

mend that you do not use seat post clamps

with quick-releases in combination with

carbon seat posts, as it is impossible to

measure the torque value necessary for the

seat post clamp. A too high clamping force

can damage the carbon seat post, resulting

in a component failure and thus in an acci-

dent with possible injuries to the rider.
