Saddle and Seat Post
Inspection
The seat fixing bolt and the seat post binder bolt should be checked for tightness and adjustment
every month tighten both to 22-26 Newton metres if using a torque wrench. On removing the seat
post from the frame, you will notice a mark about 65mm up from the bottom with the words “max.
height” or “minimum insertion”.
5. Screw the cable adjuster on the upper cable splitter out until all slack is removed from the upper
cable. then screw the cable adjuster out one more turn to raise the bearing an additional 1mm away
from the lower cable adjusting barrels.
catIon: Don’t screw the cable adjusters on the upper cable splitter out more than 8mm. use the
cable adjuster on the rear brake lever if more adjustment is needed.
6. Check for bearing flop placing the handlebars in the normal riding position, then quickly rotate the
handlebars back and forth.
NOTE: The bearing should never be allowed to rest on the lower plate or lower cable adjusting
barrels.
a) Screw the lower cable adjusting barrels out of (or into) the lower plate until all bearing flop is
eliminated.
b) tighten the locknut of the right adjusting barrel on the lower cable.
c) Rotate the handlebars 180 degrees and recheck for bearing flop. If there is any bearing flop, use the
“loose” adusting barrels on the upper and lower cable to remove it.
d) repeat steps (6a) and (6c) until the handlebars can be rotated 360 degrees without any bearing
flop.
7. finish adjusting the rear brakes.
Never ride a bicycle with the eat post raised beyond the minimum insertion/mas, height mark.
