RIDING A BIKE IS DANGEROUS. NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINING OR
INSPECTING YOUR BIKE IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. IT IS ALSO
DANGEROUS NOT TO READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Do not ride with the seat post above the maximum height/minimum
insertion mark indicated on the post. Do not scratch the post to mark your
preferred seat height, instead, use a piece of tape.
2. Before each ride be sure the seat post binder bolt is securely tightened to
the proper torque. Not securing the bolt can cause serious and/or fatal
injuries. Follow the bicycle manufacturer’s specification for binder bolt
torque.
3. Always use genuine RockShox parts. Use of other aftermarket replacement
parts voids the warranty and could cause structural failure to the seat post.

It is extremely important that your RockShox Seat Post is installed correctly by a qualified
mechanic with proper tools.
• Use a file to deburr the inside of the bicycle frame's seat tube. Scoring or scratches to the inner
seat tube may cause premature failure.
• Clean and grease the bicycle frame’s seat tube. If using a seat post shim, grease the inside and
outside of it as well.
• Install the seat post. Tighten the binder bolt on your bicycle to the manufacturer’s specifications.

1. Remove front and rear clamp screws from post clamp
assembly.
2. Remove the upper clamp assembly and grease the lower
clamp surface, clamp, washers, clamp screws and seat clamp
pins (fig. 1).
3. Install saddle and insert upper assembly through the rear of
the saddle rails.
4. Hand tighten clamp screws and set saddle to center.
5. Tighten front and rear clamp screws with the saddle in its
preferred position. Torque the clamp screws to 72 to 120 in-
lb. (8.1 to 13.4 Nm)
6. Take a ride and check if the saddle feels comfortable. If
adjustment is necessary, proceed to the next section,
“Tuning.”
