How to use quick-releases and thru axles
Quick-releases
The seat post of your CS is equipped with a quick-release to ensure fast
adjustments, assembly and disassembly.
The tight seat of the quick-release must be checked before each use of the
CS. Quick-releases should be handled with greatest care, as they directly
affect your safety. Practise the proper operation of quick-releases to avoid
any accidents.
The quick-release with safety lock of your CS is composed of two operat-
ing elements:
1. The quick-release lever
1
(Fig. 87) creates a clamping force via a
cam when you close it.
2. The safety lock
2
on the opposite side is to adjust the preload.

Warning
Do not ride your CS if you have not checked the seat post fastening before
starting the ride.
