8. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
· Please make sure that the inner diameter of the seat tube
of the bicycle frame and the outer diameter of the G.2 ST or
G.2 LT seat post are the same.
· Difference in dimensions can lead to the failure of the
clamping as well as accidents, personal injuries and ma-
terial damages.
· If necessary a reduction shim may be used to adjust the
diameter of the seat post to the diameter of the seat tube.
We recommend using the intended double-slotted alumi-
nium reduction shim from by .schulz with a height of 120
mm. The following diameters are available:
· When using a third party reduction shim please make sure
that it is it out of aluminium, has a minimum length of 90 mm
and is completely inserted into the seat tube.
· Always use the appropriate saddle clamps for the corres-
ponding saddle frame. Saddle clamps for saddle rails with
a diameter of 7 mm are installed by default. 8 mm saddle
clamps can also be installed. Never combine 8 mm saddle
clamps with 7 mm saddle rails or vice versa.
Note: Saddles with oval rails must not be installed.
9. INSTALLATION
9.1 Seatpost installation
Before installation:
In order to avoid scratching the seat post tube all sharp
edges and burrs at the intake part of the seat tube of the
bike frame must be removed and the area must be cle-
aned.
For metal frames we strongly recommend greasing the in-
side of the upper seat tube (when using a reduction shim
it must be greased also). This ensures problem-free sub-
sequent height adjustment of the seat post.
Do NOT use grease for frames made out of carbon fibre
reinforced plastics (Carbon). Instead use a special assem-
bly paste for carbon parts and frames.
1.
Please make sure that the insertion depth of the seat
post tube is not shorter than the minimum value of 90 mm.
This is illustrated by a marking on the full length seat post
tube. This marking (STOP MIN: INSERT) is located on the
back of the seat post below the extension scale. You can
find the production serial number above the scale.
2.
Particularly on small bicycle frames or frames with
pre-installed bottle cages it might be impossible to insert
the seat post tube deep enough into the seat tube of the
bicycle. In this case the seat post tube of the G.2 ST / G.2
LT can be shortened. We explicitly recommend that you
ask a specialised dealer to perform this step. After shor-
tening the seat post tube always make a new marking for
the 90 mm minimum insertion depth.
The new marking must not be made by a cut or notch
(indentation?). The seat post tube must never be shorter
than the minimum length of 90 mm.
3.
After insertion into the seat tube of the bicycle the seat
post is fastened by correctly tightening the clamping screw
or closing the quick release lever of the clamping sleeve of
the seat tube (please refer to the recommendations from
the bicycle manufacturer).
