If you have a
single bolt system
(a)
, unscrew the
fixing bolt as far as possible without loosening the
lock nut on the outer side of the clamping device. In
general, it is not necessary to take the mechanism
completely apart, if it is already equipped with the
correct outer clamps for your saddle.
If you do find it necessary to unscrew the single fixing
bolt completely, remove it from the clamping device.
This releases the outer clamping parts. The inner
clamping parts are held in position with a rubber re-
tention plate.
Mount the saddle rails into the inner clamping parts,
add the outer parts and re-insert the fixing bolt.
If the width of the saddle rails does not fit exactly
into the clamp grooves, do not try to force them in.
The clamping mechanism or the saddle rails could
break and result in an accident and/or injuries to the
rider. Use a different saddle model or contact your
CENTURION dealer.
If the saddle rails fit into the clamp grooves, slide the
saddle on the seat post and ensure that the clamp is
positioned midway along the total length of the rails
(b)
. Position the saddle so that its upper surface is
parallel to the ground.
Tighten the bolt gradually and make sure
1) the clamping device is still accurately mounted on
the carbon seat post head and
2) the clamp is tightening evenly around each rail.
Once there is uniform hold on both rails, tighten the
bolt gradually with a torque wrench
(c)
until you
have reached the maximum torque value indicated in
Newton meters (Nm) on the seat post.
G
Check the bolts by using a torque
wrench once a month according to the
values indicated directly on the com-
ponents and/or in the operating instructions of
the component manufacturers on the enclosed
CENTURION CD-ROM.
G
Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can
fail. Risk of an accident!
Adjusting the brake lever reach
With most brake systems the distance between the
brake levers and the handlebar grips is adjustable.
This gives in particular riders with small hands the
convenience of bringing the brake levers closer to
the handlebars
(d)
.
On most bikes there is a small adjusting screw near
the point where the brake cable of a cable brake en-
ters the brake lever unit or at the lever itself.
