How to fasten the seat post of your CS securely with a quick-release
Open the quick-release lever (Fig. 88). You should now be able to read the
marking “Open“.
Fig. 88
Make sure that your seat post is in the proper position. For more informa-
tion see the chapter
“Adjusting the CS to the rider/sitting position”
.
Move the quick-release lever towards the seat post. When you start clos-
ing the lever until half of its travel you should feel virtually no resistance.
Over the second half of its travel the resistance you feel should increase
significantly. Towards the end of its travel you should need very much
strength to close the lever. Use the ball of your thumb to push it in all the
way while your fingers pull on the seat post.
If you can open the closed quick-release lever without applying force, you
have to increase the preload. To do so turn the safety lock towards “+”.
