Having found your preferred position, make sure that both clamp halves
fit snug around the saddle rails before increasing the torque value to the
value indicated by the seat post manufacturer.

Tighten both bolts evenly (Fig. 107) so the saddle remains at the same an-
gle. If you wish to lower the saddle nose a little, turn the front bolt clock-
wise.
If necessary, you may even have to loosen the rear bolt a little.
To lower the rear part of the saddle, the rear bolt has to be turned clock-
wise and the front bolt to be loosened, if necessary.
After fastening the saddle, check whether it resists tilting by bringing
your weight to bear on it once with your hands at either end of the saddle
(Fig. 108).
Warning
Check the bolts once a month by using a torque wrench according to the
values indicated on the components themselves, in the chapter
“Rec-
ommended torque values”
or in the possibly enclosed instructions of the
component manufacturers.
Warning
Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can fail.
