SEAT & QUICK RELEASE SEAT POST ASSEMBLY
THE SEATPOST “MINIMUM INSERTION” / “MAXIMUM HEIGHT” MARK
SHOULD NOT BE VISIBLE WHEN THE SEAT POST IS INSERTED INTO
THE SEAT MAST OF THE BIKE. DO NOT RAISE THE SEAT POST BEYOND
THIS MARK. THE SEAT POST MAY BREAK CAUSING YOU TO LOSE
CONTROL AND FALL.
ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE SEAT POST ADJUSTING MECHANISM IS
TIGHTENED SECURELY BEFORE RIDING. RIDING WITH AN IMPROPERLY
TIGHTENED SEAT POST CAN ALLOW THE SEAT TO TURN OR MOVE AND
CAUSE THE RIDER TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL.
1. Loosen the seat clamp nuts.
2. Insert the top portion of the seat post into the seat clamp. Be sure the seat post is
completely inserted into the seat clamp and butted tightly against the underside of the
seat.
3. Tighten seat clamp nuts securely.
4. Insert the seat post (with seat attched) into the bike frame. Be surethat the seat post is
inserted past the Minimum Insertion Line. Review SADDLE HEIGHT guidelines on page 19.
5. Tighten the tension adjusting nut by hand and move the quick release lever to the closed
position. NOTE: Turning the tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the lever from
rotating reduces clamping force. Less than half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can
make the difference between safe clamping force and unsafe clamping force. You should
feel considerable resistance while moving the lever. If not, re-open and retighten the lever,
then move it to the closed position so it is in line with the top tube of the frame (as shown
in the top illustration).
6. Adjust the angle of the seat so that the top of the seat is parallel to the ground or
comfortable to the rider.
7. Retighten the seat clamp nuts securely. Check for tightness by attempting to twist the
seat. If the seat is loose, be sure to tighten the clamp nuts and binder bolt securely. Torque
