Before every single ride
Check the following functions of the seatpost before every ride:
- In both rotation directions, there should be no play noticeable.
- The seatpost should not have more play than 2 – 3 mm to the front or back. If the clearance is bigger, check the minimum insert length and
whether the bushing tube is ok (also refer to the chapter “Service”).
- The saddle must not have any play, the back screw is to be tightened with 8 Nm
- The mechanics to lower the seatpost has to run smoothly and without friction. In case you notice friction, the bushing tube has to be greased (see
chapter service). If the lubrication of the seatpost does not improve, there may be an adjustment error of the adjusting ring in the frame. Other rea-
sons can also be a squeezed bushing tube or the cable in the cartridge is located next to the guiding insert.
- The remote lever is to run smoothly. The tension cable should be adjusted correctly which you can do with the cable
tension adjuster (refer to the chapter: “remote mounting”). The lever automatically is to go back into place when released.
If this is not the case, you presumably need to replace the cable.
- Check the function of the click mechanism in the top position, in the bottom position and in an intermediate positions.
If you hear a grinding noise, the cable tension needs to be controlled.
