Assembly (Cont.)
Step 5: saddle assembly
The saddle is pre-assembled to the seat post.
1. Loosen the seat clamp, then insert
the seat post into the bicycle frame,
making sure that the minimum
insertion mark on the seat post is
completely inserted into the frame
and not visible (Fig. 9).
2. Tighten the quick release (QR) seat
post binder bolt securely at the
desired height. Turning the tension
adjustment nut clockwise while
keeping the cam lever from rotating
increases the clamping force. Turning
it anticlockwise while keeping the cam
lever from rotating reduces the clamping force (Fig. 10). Less than half a turn
of the tension adjustment nut can make the difference between safe clamping
force and unsafe clamping force.
3. Adjust the seat angle so that the top of the seat is parallel to the ground or
comfortable to the rider.
4. Close the seat clamp.
NOTE:
Test the seat to pedal distance by having the rider sit on the seat. When the
rider’s leg is slightly bent, the ball of the foot should rest on the pedal when it is in
its lowest position. If it does not, adjust the seat height as necessary.
Check for tightness by attempting to twist the seat. If the seat is loose, be sure to
tighten the clamp nut and binder bolt nut securely.
