An incorrectly fitted seat post can lead
to dangerous riding situations, falling,
accidents and material damage.
You must have your dealer demonstrate
fitting and removing your saddle post.
Practice this job at least once under his
supervision and control.
Only remove and fit the seat post and
saddle if you are sure you have mas-
tered this job.
For transportation you can remove your bike’s
saddle post complete with saddle and replace it
again afterwards.
The seat post is held with a clamp in the frame
seat tube and is tightened with either a quick
release or a hexagon socket.
On carbon fibre seat posts special types may be
fitted with two screws.

For clamping without a quick release a hexagon
socket and a torque wrench of the appropriate size
are required. Please also consult your dealer.
To remove your seat post:
1. Release the saddle clamp at the quick
release as per Chapter 7.6 or by loosening
the Allen screw with an Allen key.
