FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always remember that riding a bicycle involves potential danger for the
rider and other road users, as well as for the bicycle and its components.
For the time being we limit the service life of your THM seatpost to
100,000 km or 10 years. It is imperative you contact us before continuing
to use your THM Mandibula seatpost after one of these limits has expired!
You should therefore use your common sense and avoid any
unreasonable behavior!
