The seat and stem can be attached
with screwed connections or quick
releases. Always secure screwed
connections with the correct torque, see
chapter 33.3.
7.2 Operating quick releases
Quick releases are clamping brackets which
attach components like a screw, however their
clamping force stems from tightening the lever
without tools. The clamping force is activated
by opening and closing the lever. The level of
force is adjusted by turning the corresponding
bolt when the lever is open.
1. In order to open a quick release, e.g. to ad-
just the seat post, open the quick release
lever. On the inside of the lever, most quick
releases are printed with the word “open”.
2. Now you can move and adjust the seat post.
3. Before you use the FLYER, you first have to
securely close the quick release again. To
do this, push the lever closed so that you
can see the word “close” printed on the out-
side of the lever.
If the clamping force is too high and you can-
not close the quick release, you have to open
the lever and turn the adjusting screw anti-
clockwise.
If the clamping force is not great enough,
meaning e.g. that the seat is not secure, you
have to turn the adjusting screw on the quick
release clockwise. To do this, the quick release
lever has to be open.
The quick release is only se-
curely closed when you need
the power of the ball of your
hand to close the lever.
