WARNING
Make sure the saddle is clamped within the range of the marking on the
saddle rail and not in the curved section of the saddle rails
(c)
. Otherwise the
saddle rail can fail! Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a month
according to the prescribed values.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The setting range of the saddle is very small. Replacing the stem allows you
to make far bigger adjustments to the rider’s fore-to-aft position, as stems
come in different lengths. In doing so you may achieve differences of more
than ten centimetres. In this case you usually would have to adjust the length
of the cables – a job best left to your SCOTT dealer!
The manufacturers of saddles deliver their products with detailed manuals.
Read them carefully before adjusting the position of your saddle. If you are
in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
Adjustment of saddle position and tilt
With
patent seat posts
(d)
one or two bolts fix the clamping mechanism, which
controls the tilt and the horizontal position of the saddle. Some seat posts have
two bolts side-by-side.
Release the bolt(s) at the top of the seat post. Release the bolt(s) two to three
turns anticlockwise at the most, otherwise the whole assembly can come apart.
Move the saddle forth or back, as desired. You may have to give the saddle a
light blow to make it move.
Please observe the markings on the saddle rail. Make sure the seat of the saddle
remains horizontal
(e)
as you retighten the bolt(s). Your SCOTT bike should
stand on level ground while you adjust the saddle.
Having found your preferred position, make sure both clamp halves fit snugly
around the saddle rails before tightening the bolt(s) to the correct torque value
as prescribed by the seat post manufacturer.
Retighten the bolt(s) with a torque wrench according to the manuals of the
manufacturer. After fastening the saddle, check whether it resists tilting by
bringing your weight to bear on it once with your hands at either end of the
saddle
