The seat fixing bolt and the seat post binder bolt should be checked
for tightness and adjustment every month. 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”.
To avoid damage to either the seat post, the frame
or possibly the rider, a minimum of 65mm of the seat
post must always remain in the frame.
Remove the seat post from the frame and wipe off any grease, rust or
dirt. Then apply a thin film of new grease to the part that will be inserted
into the frame. Re-insert, adjust and tighten the seat post in the frame.
