SpeedBall
TM
Height Adjustable Seatpost
Installation: Using a 5mm allen wrench, install your saddle
on the Speed
B
all. Depending on your seat tube/saddle
angle, it may be necessary to adjust the green Adjuster
Screw to attain the desired Release Lever position.
WARNING: DO NOT ADJUST THE SpeedBall WHILE
RIDING AS IT MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL.
Operation: To adjust the height of your seatpost, lift the
release lever and push down on the post. Depending on
rider size, it may be necessary to remove weight from the
saddle, lift up on the Release Lever, and then apply pressure
to the top of the seat to initiate movement. To raise the
seatpost, remove weight from the saddle and lift the Release
Lever.
The Maverick Speed
B
all is a height adjustable seatpost. It is
not a suspension seatpost. It is possible that your seatpost
may “bounce” or not have a solid feel fresh out of the box or
as a result of improper actuation. To fix this, simply hold the
seatpost vertical (or place in your bicycle frame), while lifting
up on the Release Lever, cycle the post up and down a few
times to achieve a solid feel (when the Lever is released).
If the seatpost is lifted while in the lowered position, the Inner
Tube will extend from the Outer Tube. This is normal and it
will return to the proper position once weight is applied to the
seat.
NOTE: In
some rare cases, your seatpost may “bounce” back up when placed in the lowest position. This is normal
and is
caused by a pocket of air that is pressurized when the seatpost is lowered. To fix this, simply loosen the
Main Seal
Head and lower the seatpost. With the seatpost in the lowered position, hand tighten the Main Seal Head.
