Saddle angle
Alignment of the saddle
The Eightpins NGS2 seatpost has a overload clutch which gives way in case of a fall and lets the saddle turn sideways. This is only
roughly set in the assembly. If, after assembly, the saddle is slightly to the side, it can be easily turned to the desired position. The
required force is about 45Nm.
With an 5mm bit and a torque wrench, tighten the rear screw with 8 Nm.
Attention: The back screw of the seat post head must not be tightened with more than 8 Nm,
as it might break and lead to an increased risk of injury.
With the front screw, adjust the saddle angle. Turning it clockwise, the tip of the saddle moves upwards; turning it anti-
clockwise, the tip of the saddle moves downwards.
Loosen the rear fi xing screw on the seat post head with a 5 mm Allen key.
Note! To change the saddle angle, fi rst loosen the rear saddle clamp screw in order to be able to
adjust the saddle with the saddle angle adjuster.
