its "Minimum Insertion" or "Maximum Extension" mark. The seatpost should always be inserted in the frame at
least 80mm. (See fig. 4)
WARNING: A seatpost that is positioned too high can damage the bike and can cause you to lose
control and fall. Make sure the seat post is inserted in the frame at least 80mm.
NOTE: Some bicycles have a sight hole in the seat tube, the purpose of which is to make it easy to see
whether the seat post is inserted in the seat tube far enough to be safe. If your bicycle has such a sight
hole, use it instead of the "Minimum Insertion" or "Maximum Extension" mark to make sure the seat
post is inserted in the seat tube far enough to be visible through the sight hole.
WARNING: If your seat post is not inserted in the seat tube as described in B.1 above, the seat post
may break, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
2. Front and back adjustment. The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to help you get the optimal position
on the bike. Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position and to show you how to make
this adjustment. If you choose to make your own front and back adjustment, make sure that the clamp
mechanism is clamping on the straight part of the saddle rails and is not touching the curved part of the rails,
and that you are using the recommended torque on the clamping fastener(s) (Appendix D or the
manufacturer's instructions).
3. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders like the saddle nose
angled up or down just a little. Your dealer can adjust saddle angle or teach you how to do it. If you choose to
make your own saddle angle adjustment and you have a single bolt saddle clamp on your seat post, it is
critical that you loosen the clamp bolt sufficiently to allow any serrations on the mechanism to disengage
before changing the saddle's angle, and then that the serrations fully re-engage before you tighten the clamp
bolt to the recommended torque (Appendix D or the manufacturer's instructions).
WARNING: When making saddle angle adjustments with a single bolt saddle clamp, always check to
make sure that the serrations on the mating surfaces of the clamp are not worn. Worn serrations on the
clamp can allow the saddle to move, causing you to lose control and fall.
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts
that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt, causing
you to lose control and fall.
Note: If your bicycle is equipped with a suspension seat post, the suspension mechanism may require
periodic service or maintenance. Ask your dealer for recommended service intervals for your
suspension seat post.
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on performance and comfort. To find your
best saddle position, make only one adjustment at a time.
