If you have a
single bolt system
(e)
, the seat post
for most of the sports saddles is designed for a sad-
dle rail diameter of 7 mm. Replacement outer clamps
for ovalized saddle rails of 8 mm x 8.5 mm (W x H) as
well as for carbon saddle rails bigger than 8 x 8.5 mm
are also available. If you are not sure which saddle
rail type you have or if you need further information,
contact your CENTURION dealer.
To mount the saddle unscrew the transversal fixing
bolt
(f)
as far as possible without loosening the lock
nut on the outer side of the clamping device. In gen-
eral, it is not necessary to take the mechanism com-
pletely apart, if it is already equipped with the correct
outer clamps for your saddle.
If you do find it necessary to unscrew the single
fixing bolt completely, remove it from the clamping
device. This releases the outer clamping parts. The
inner clamping parts are held in position with a rubber
retention plate. Mount the saddle rails into the inner
clamping parts, add the outer parts and re-insert the
fixing bolt.
If the width of the saddle rails does not fit exactly into
the clamp grooves, do not try to force them in. The
clamping mechanism or the saddle rails could break
and result in an accident and/or injuries to the rider.
Use a different saddle model or contact your
CENTURION dealer.
If the saddle rails fit into the clamp grooves, slide the
saddle on the seat post and ensure that the clamp is
positioned midway along the total length of the rails
(g)
. Position the saddle so that its upper surface is
parallel to the ground. Tighten the bolt gradually and
make sure
1) the clamping device is still accurately mounted on
the carbon seat post head and
2) the clamp is tightening evenly around each rail.
Once there is uniform hold on both rails, tighten the
bolt gradually with a torque wrench
(h)
until you
have reached the maximum torque value indicated in
Newton meters (Nm) on the seat post.
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.
G
Check the bolts by using a torque
wrench once a month according to the
values indicated directly on the compo-
nents and/or in the instructions of the component
manufacturers on this CENTURION CD-ROM.
G
Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can
fail. Risk of an accident!
