Cutting the Seat Post
When cutting the seat post
1. Make a straight cut; use a cutting guide such as Park Tool
SG-7 and a carbon specific saw blade. Lightly round and
smooth the finished cut with fine sandpaper.
2. Re-mark the MINIMUM INSERT line 90 mm up from the
bottom of the cut seat post. Mark the seat post without
scoring, scratching or otherwise damaging the surface of
the seat post. Use a thin decal (automotive pin striping)
or a paint marker.
NOTE: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
bicycle regulations require minimum seat post insertion
be marked on the seat post.
WARNING
If the seat post requires cutting, have it done by a
professional bike mechanic with experience cutting high-
performance carbon components.
YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED OR
KILLED IF YOUR IGNORE THIS WARNING.
