If the seat post moves in the seat tube:
- Loosen the bolt and nut
- If you have a quick release lever, move it to the “open” position (see Quick Release Section).
- Put the seat in the correct position and tighten the bolt and nut or quick release tighter than before
- If you have a quick release lever, move the lever to the “close” position
- Do this test again, until the seat post does not move in the seat tube.
Operation and Maintenance
WARNING:
For your own safety, do not ride the bicycle if the reflectors are incorrectly installed,
damaged, or missing. Make sure the front and rear reflectors are vertical. Do not allow the visibility of the
reflectors to be blocked by clothing or other articles. Dirty reflectors do not work well. Clean the reflectors, as
necessary, with soap and a damp cloth.
WARNING:
Do not ride the bicycle if the “MIN-IN” minimum insertion mark of the seat post is not
inside the seat tube.
- Make sure you can not see the “MIN-IN” minimum insertion mark of the seat post above the seat tube
- Make sure there at least three inches of clearance between the top of the seat and the top of the red
reflector
- Make sure the red reflector is vertical and points straight toward the rear of the bicycle.
- With the seat and the red reflector in the correct position, tighten the post clamp bolt and nut or quick
release lever
- To tighten the quick release lever:
- Move the lever so it points straight away from the bicycle
- Tighten or loosen the adjusting nut so the lever meets resistance when the lever is at this
position
- Push the lever down to the closed position.
- Test the tightness of the seat clamp and the post clamp.
WARNING:
Every time you loosen the post clamp, make sure the red reflector is correctly
positioned. The red reflector must be vertical, point straight toward the rear of the bicycle, and have three
inches of clearance between the top of the seat and the top of the red reflector.
Try to turn the seat side-to-side and to move the front of the seat up and down
