Seat and Seat Post
Attach the seat to the seat post 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.
NOTE: Some models of bicycles may be equipped with a suspension seat
post (See Diagram-bottom left). Some suspension posts can be adjusted
for stiffness using the preload adjusting screw. Turning the 6mm Allen screw
Clockwise will decrease travel and make the suspension stiffer, while turning
the 6mm Allen screw Counter-clockwise will increase travel and make the
suspension softer.
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.
