Saddle
Adjusting the height of the saddle
Undo the bolt that secures the seatpost or open the quick-release
clamp, then set the saddle to the required height. Next, secure the
seatpost by tightening the bolt or closing the quick-release clamp.
Check that the saddle is secure by gripping its front and rear and
attempting to turn it.
Make sure that the seatpost can be moved easily within the
frame and that it is greased (except with carbon seatposts!).
Never use force to press the seatpost into the seat tube
It is extremely important that you respect the STOP, MAX, and
MIN markings! These must always be observed and should
never be exceeded.
“Stop” mark on the seatpost
Never pull out the seatpost
beyond the STOP mark,
otherwise the seatpost, seat tube,
or frame might break, which could
lead to a serious accident.
The minimum insertion depth of the seatpost is 2.5 times its
diameter.
Example: For a seatpost with a diameter of 25.0 mm the minimum
insertion depth is 62.5mm.
If the seatpost is too short, you need to purchase a new one. The
diameter of the seatpost is indicated on its bottom; therefore you will not
need callipers. Should you have any doubts about the adjustment of the
seatpost, please turn to your specialist dealer.
With frames on which the seat tube extends beyond the top tube,
the seatpost must be inserted at least under the top tube or to the
height of the rear seatstay. In this case the calculation method described
above is not applicable!
Spring seatpost
On frames without a rear shock
the spring seatpost takes the strain
off the spine and spinal discs.
Most designs have a spring
displacement of 40 mm, and can
be adjusted according to your
weight with an Allen key
(Figure 14).
Please, read the attached
information booklet of the
manufacturer carefully!
