Collar/Wiper Seal Lubrication
Slide the collar/wiper seal assembly down until it contacts the lower
post threads.
Thread the collar onto the lower post by hand.
NOTICE
Do not cross-thread the collar while threading it onto the lower post.
Cross-threading the collar and lower post will permanently damage
the threads and the parts will need to be replaced.
Tighten the collar/wiper seal assembly.
NOTICE
Do not scratch the upper post with the wrench. Scratches can
damage the upper post outer surface, allow contaminants to enter
the lower tube, and degrade performance.
The bicycle frame seatpost clamp must be tight enough to prevent
the seatpost from spinning inside the frame. If the clamp is tightened
to the specified toque (do not exceed 6.7 N∙m / 59 in-lb) and the
seatpost moves when the seatpost collar/wiper seal assembly is
loosened or tightened, remove the seatpost and clamp it into a vise
with Reverb Vise Blocks.
This concludes the 50 hour service procedure.
