SEAT AND SEAT POST
Attach the seat to the seat post if required by loosening the nuts on the seat clamp. Insert the tapered
end of the seat post into the seat clamp until it is at the top of the clamp. Partially tighten the nuts on
the seat clamp until the seat is snug, but can still be turned. Insert the seat assembly into the frame
of the bicycle and adjust the seat to the proper height. The seat post must be inserted to at least the
“Minimum Insertion” line marked on the seat post. If equipped with a quick release skewer; tighten
the adjusting nut by hand and move the quick release lever to the closed position. You should feel
considerable resistance while moving the lever. If not, re-open and re-tighten the lever, then move it to
the closed position so it is in line with the frame as pictured. If equipped with a binder clamp; Insure
the lip on the binder clamp is fitted completely against the top of the seat tube of the frame. With the
seat post inserted, tighten the binder bolt securely. Position the top of the seat parallel with the ground.
Push the front of the seat up and down to firmly mesh the serrations together. The serrations must mesh
completely together to insure a stabilized riding position. Securely tighten the nut on the seat clamp. If
there is a nut on both sides of the clamp, tighten each one by alternating from one to the other. Check
for tightness by twisting the seat from side to side, and from front to back. If the seat moves at the seat
clamp or quick release, reposition and re-tighten the appropriate clamping mechanism.

THE SEAT POST MUST BE INSERTED SO THAT THE MINIMUM
INSERTION MARK CANNOT BE SEEN. THE QUICK RELEASE
MECHANISM MUST BE TIGHTENED SECURELY TO PREVENT A
SUDDEN SHIFT OF THE SEAT WHEN RIDING. FAILURE TO DO THIS
MAY CAUSE LOSS OF BICYCLE CONTROL.
