residual carbon gel paste from the inside the

•
Apply fresh carbon friction gel to the seat
post and place a little bit inside the seat tube.
•
Make sure the seal is in good condition and in
place on the seat post.
To adjust:
1. Insert the prepared seat post into the frame.
Maintain the specified minimum insert.
2. Set the saddle height.
3. Insert 4 mm hex through the underside seat
tube opening as shown.
4. Tighten the binder screw to the specified
torque.
5. Slide the seal against the frame.
NOTICE

to clean. Use only a clen dry shop towel.

Do not exceed the specified torque. If
you over-tighten the binder bolt, you will
damage the binder, seat post or the frame.

assembly to clean, inspect for damage and renew
the application of grease and carbon gel.

inserted into the frame is 65mm.
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.

frame at any time. Have your Cannondale Dealer size
