10. CHANGING THE SPRING ELEMENT
10.1 Removal of the Spring Element
1.
Open the M5 headless screw of the large pivot bearing
in the rear arm of the G.2 ST/ G.2 LT seat post with a 2.5
mm Allen wrench. Turn the screw counter-clockwise until
it protrudes approx. 2 mm from the arm. Then push the 8
mm stainless steel pin out of the bearing.
2.
Open the parallel suspension mechanism by pulling the
rear spring arm upwards by hand. The entire upper part of
the seat post will tilt forward towards the riding direction.
3.
Lift up the rear spring arm in the small pivot bearing until
the spring element detaches from the spring plate.
The spring element can now be removed by hand.
The 8 mm pin has holes into which suitable tools can be
inserted to ensure that the pin and the bearing bushings
are not damaged during removal or installation.
These tools (e.g. mandrel) should be used to push the pin
out of the bearing.

Note : we recommend keeping the G.2 ST/ G.2 LT
seat post mounted in the bicycle frame when changing
the spring element. The saddle does not have to be removed
either.
Note : Use the changing the spring for a visual inspecti-
on of the elastomer damping elements in the seat post
base, the spring arms and the head of the G.2 ST/ G.2 LT
seat post. The spring mechanism must be opened comple-
tely in order to check the backstroke damper. Clean the inner
area of the head and body if necessary.
