Seat Post
Installation & Adjustment
Before installing:
•
To ensure good clamping and avoid creaking,
remove all residual carbon paste with a clean
cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol. Wipe
the inside of the seat tube and seat post. Wipe
again using a clean area of the cloth and repeat
until the cloth comes away clean.
•
Apply fresh carbon friction paste to the seat
post and place a little bit inside the seat tube.
•
Lightly grease the seat tube under the seat
post clamp.
To adjust:
1. Insert the prepared seat post into the frame.
2. Set the saddle height. Maintain the specified
minimum insert.
3. Tighten the binder screw to the specified torque.
NOTICE
Do not exceed the specified torque. If you
over-tighten the binder bolt, you will damage the
binder, seat post, or frame.
Minimum Insert
The minimum insert depth the seat post must be
inserted into the frame is 100mm.
Maximum Insert
The total length of seat post that may be inserted
will vary with the frame size and should be checked
in each frame.
To check, carefully slide a seat post into the frame
until it stops; then lift it up 5mm.
NOTICE
A seat post should not be bottomed out inside
the frame at any time. If necessary, have
your Cannondale dealer cut the seat post
appropriately.
THE SEAT POST MUST ONLY BE CUT BY A
PROFESSIONAL BIKE MECHANIC
. Incorrectly
cutting the seat post can result in damage
leading to an accident.

posts, see also “Care and Maintenance of Carbon
Fiber Seat Posts” in your Cannondale Bicycle
Owner’s Manual.
