10.2 Installation of the spring element
1.
Place the selected original G.2 ST/ G.2 LT spring ele-
ment into the parallel suspension mechanism of the seat
post by hand. Push the spring element with the centring
pin of the spring end cap into the corresponding hole of
the spring arm plate of the front spring arm.
2.
Now push the rear spring arm back downwards to ad-
just the spring element between the arms. The centring
pin of the second spring end cap must engage audibly
into the hole of the spring arm plate of the rear spring arm.

. Fold the entire parallel suspension mechanism in the
small pivot bearing back downwards to the stop. Then
reinsert the 8 mm pin. Make sure the pin is correctly
aligned with all holes. The M5 screw must have suffi-
cient blue thread locking adhesive, apply new adhesive if
necessary. Refasten the M5 headless screw and tighten it
with a torque of 3 Nm. The pin is now safely fastened by
its centring groove.
Please check the correct fit of all components before the
first ride with the new spring.

Note : The M5 headless screw must be inserted
with medium strength thread locking adhesive
and under no circumstances may it become loose on
its own after tightening. Check if the headless screw is
still tightened with a torque of 3 Nm after approx. 1-2
hours of operation. Use a torque wrench with a 2.5
mm Allen head attached.
