11.2.4 Adjusting a pneumatic telescopic seat post
Air pressure influences factors such as the extension speed and the force that must be
exerted in order to lower the telescopic seat post. The air pressure inside the pneumatic
telescopic seat post is pre-set by the manufacturer and only needs to be adjusted in the
event of a malfunction.
x Have the telescopic seat post adjusted by your dealer.
11.2.5 Bleeding a hydraulic telescopic seat post
A hydraulic telescopic seat post must be bled once it stops fully extending or the saddle
starts to sink after the lever is released.
x Have the telescopic seat post bled by your dealer.
11.3 Operation
Depending on the design of the telescopic seat post, the remote control may be
equipped with one or two levers. Where there are two levers, each lever is generally
associated with a point between the upper and lower saddle positions.
x To lower the saddle, place weight on it and operate the lever. Once the saddle has
reached the desired position, release the lever.
x To raise the saddle, take the weight off it and operate the lever. Once the saddle
has reached the desired position, release the lever.
12 Suspension
This chapter contains information about the basics of suspension elements, as well as
their adjustment and operation.
If suspension elements are too soft, they will no longer provide cushioning against
bumps and the suspension will bottom out.
Suspension elements must be adjusted or tuned to prevent bottoming out.
If a suspension element frequently bottoms out, it (and often the frame too) will become
permanently damaged.
x If you lack the necessary expertise and the tools required for the adjustments, have
suspension elements adjusted by your dealer.
