seat and seat post
Your bicycle may come equipped with either a
standard or a micro-adjustable seatpost.
standard seatpost
Attach the seat to the seat post by first loosening
the nuts on the seat clamp. Insert the tapered end
of the seat post into the seat clamp until it is at the
top of the clamp. Partially tighten the nuts on the
seat clamp, then insert the seat assembly into the
frame of the bicycle and adjust the seat to the proper
height. The seat post must be inserted to at least
the “Minimum Insertion” line. Move the quick release
lever to the closed position. You should feel considerable resistance while moving the lever. If not, re-open and tighten the
lever, then move it to the closed position. See the section in this manual regarding quick releases for more detailed instructions.
Adjust the seat to be centered in the clamp and generally level with the ground, then re-tighten the clamp nuts evenly before
riding. Avoid riding the bike with a loose saddle.
Micro-adjustable seatpost
Loosen the seat fixing bolt, then slide the seat into the clamp. The two seat rails should fit into the corresponding channels
in the clamp. There is usually no need to completely remove the fixing bolt, but it may be necessary in some cases. Partially
tighten the seat fixing bolt, then insert the seat assembly into the frame of the bicycle and adjust the seat to the proper height.
The seat post must be inserted to at least the “Minimum Insertion” line. Move the quick release lever to the closed position.

NOTE: Some models of bicycles may be equipped with a suspension seat post (See diagram on next page). Some suspension
posts can be adjusted for stiffness using the preload adjusting screw. Turning the 6mm Allen screw Clockwise will make the
suspension stiffer, while turning the 6mm Allen screw Counter-clockwise will make the suspension softer.
Seat Clamp Nuts
standard seat post
the seat post must be inserted so that the minimum insertion mark cannot be seen. the
quick release mechanism must be tightened securely to prevent a sudden shift of the
seat when riding. Failure to do this may cause loss of bicycle control.
