Instructions / Assembly

SEAT & QUICK RELEASE SEAT POST ASSEMBLY

1. Loosen the seat clamp nuts.

2. Insert the top portion of the seat post into the seat clamp. Be sure the seat post is

completely inserted into the seat clamp and butted tightly against the underside of

the seat.

3. Tighten seat clamp nuts securely.

4. Insert the seat post (with seat attached) into the bike frame. Be sure that the seat post

is inserted past the Minimum Insertion Line.

5. Tighten the tension adjusting nut by hand and move the quick release lever to the

closed position. NOTE: Less than half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can make the

difference between safe clamping force and unsafe clamping force. You should feel

considerable resistance while moving the lever. If not, re-open and retighten

the lever, then move it to the closed position so it is in line with the top tube of

the frame (as shown in the top illustration).

6. Adjust the angle of the seat so that the top of the seat is parallel to the ground or

comfortable to the rider.

7. Retighten the seat clamp nuts securely (torque requirement 15-20 ft. lbs). Check for

tightness by attempting to twist the seat along with rocking it up and down. If the seat

is loose, be sure to tighten the clamp nuts and binder bolt securely.

THE SEATPOST “MINIMUM INSERTION” / “MAXIMUM HEIGHT”

MARK SHOULD NOT BE VISIBLE WHEN THE SEAT POST IS

INSERTED INTO THE SEAT MAST OF THE BIKE. DO NOT RAISE

THE SEAT POST BEYOND THIS MARK. THE SEAT POST OR FRAME

MAY BREAK CAUSING YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL.

ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE SEAT POST ADJUSTING MECHANISM

IS TIGHTENED SECURELY BEFORE RIDING. RIDING WITH AN

IMPROPERLY TIGHTENED SEAT POST CAN ALLOW THE SEAT TO TURN

OR MOVE AND CAUSE THE RIDER TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL.

TORQUE REQUIREMENTS 15-20 FT. LBS.
