to component failure, resulting in serious injury or death.
We recommend that you have this product installed, adjusted
and maintained by a professional bicycle mechanic.

Intended Use
The Regulator Ti seatpost is intended for road, gravel, and
cross-country mountain bike use.
Compatibility
The Regulator Ti seatpost is only compatible with 7mm round
metal seat rails. Not for use with carbon seat rails or ovalized
seat rails.
Assembly Instructions
1. Insert the saddle rail rests into seatpost (figure 1).
2. Insert M6 bolt into the non-threaded saddle rail rest
and thread into the opposing tapered saddle rail rest.
Only tighten to hold assembly in-place, so that saddle rail
rests can still rotate slightly.
3. Place saddle onto the seatpost, placing the saddle rails
onto the saddle rail rest pieces (figure 2).
4. Apply grease to threads and under bolt head.
Mount saddle rail clamps and thread in saddle bolts
but not so tightly that the rails can’t move (figure 3).
5. Place saddle in proper fore/aft position.
6. Once proper saddle position is achieved tighten saddle
bolts to 3–5 Nm with M6 hex tool (figure 4).
7. Make sure there is no movement and that saddle cannot
slide in clamps.
8. Set the proper angle of the saddle.
9. Tighten the M6 bolt to 4–5 Nm, and a maximum
of 10 Nm with M5 hex tool (figure 5).
10. Make sure the saddle cannot move fore/aft or rotationally.
11. Test for slippage before every ride.
Seatpost Adjustment
To Adjust Fore/Aft Position
1. Loosen saddle bolts.
2. Once saddle bolts are loose enough, adjust saddle fore
or aft.
3. Check that threads and contact surfaces of saddle bolts
are properly greased.

4. Once desired position is achieved, retighten saddle bolts
to 3–5Nm.
5. Test for slippage before riding.
To Adjust Saddle Angle
1. Loosen M6 bolt. First you will feel bolt loosen and then you
will feel resistance. This is OK; this bolt and assembly act
as a self-extracting mechanism. Continue a couple of turns, then
push downward on the saddle slightly as you loosen the bolt.
Soon the saddle rail rests will loosen from the seatpost and the
saddle will pop loose and freely rotate.
2. Adjust the saddle for desired angle and then tighten the M6 bolt
to 4–5Nm, 10Nm max.
3. Test for slippage before riding.
