The Giant Vector Seatpost is built with Giant Composite Technology for lightweight, aerodynamic
performance. To achieve the best riding experience and proper saddle height, the seatpost may need to
be cut.
WARNING
·
Cutting the seatpost is a complicated task that should be performed by a professional
mechanic.
·
If you have any doubts about your ability to cut the seatpost correctly, please contact an
authorized Giant dealer.
·
Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty, and could damage the frame
and/or the seatpost, which may result in severe injury or death.
CAUTION:
Use the carbon assembly paste for final installation, which could prevent the
seatpost from slipping down and damaging the frame. It could also prevent possible creaking
due to the friction between the frame and the seatpost.
Seatpost Cutting Procedure
Determine the length to cut
1.
Install your saddle to the Giant Vector
Seatpost and adjust the saddle to a horizontal
position.
2.
Adjust the seatpost up and down and
determine the correct saddle height. If the
saddle cannot be lowered far enough for
proper fit, because the seatpost meets the
seat tube curve inside the frame, the seatpost
must be cut.
3.
The seatpost should be cut at a 45-degree
angle so that the bottom of the post slopes
downward from the rear side to the front. This
will help prevent damage to the frame if the
seatpost is pushed too far down in the frame.
