Minimum Seat Post
Insert
Make sure at least 100 mm of the
seat post is inserted into the frame
at all times.
Failure to insert the seat post at least
100 mm can place a very high stress
on the seat tube top tube junction
causing the frame to fail while riding.
Remove the seat post. Measure 100
mm from the bottom of the seat post.
Use a permanent marker to mark the
post at 100 mm.
When adjusting the seat post height
in the seat tube, never adjust the
seat post so that the line you mark is
above the top edge of the seat tube.
You must also be aware that bicycle
seat posts are permanently marked
by the manufacturer with a “minimum
insert” line on the seat post itself.
You must not rely on this marking as
an indication of the proper minimum
seat post insertion depth.
You can be severely injured,
paralyzed or killed in an accident if
you ignore this warning.

forks for your bike. Do not modify

When selecting different shocks
or forks for your bike, make sure
that the shock or fork you select is
