4.2.1 Adjusting the saddle height

The cycle may be equipped with a rigid seat post or a telescopic seat post, depending

on the model. Both types of seat post can be fastened using either a seat post clamp

with a clamp bolt, or a quick-release seat post clamp. The seat post clamp allows the

height of the saddle to be adjusted.

x For more information about telescopic seat posts, read the “Telescopic seat post”

chapter.

If your cycle has a seat post clamp with a clamp bolt:

1. Hold the saddle firmly and loosen the clamp bolt by turning it anticlockwise until

the saddle can be moved in the seat tube.

2. Pull the seat post out to the desired height.

x Follow the minimum insertion depth and minimum pull-out height

specifications.

3. Tighten the clamp bolt by turning it clockwise to fasten the seat post clamp.

x Observe the permitted torque (see the “Safety / Notes on torques” chapter).

4. Check whether the saddle is correctly positioned. It must not twist.

x If you can twist the saddle, check the seat post clamp.

If your cycle has a seat post clamp with a quick release:

1. Hold the saddle firmly and pull the

quick-release lever outwards.

2. Pull the seat post out to the desired

height.

x Follow the minimum insertion

depth and minimum pull-out height

specifications.

3. Fasten the seat post clamp by pulling

the quick-release lever inwards until it

touches the seat tube.

x If you cannot pull the clamping lever

by hand, then the preload is too high.

Correct the preload by loosening the adjustment screw a little and pull the

clamping lever again.

4. Check whether the saddle is correctly positioned. It must not twist.

x If you can twist the saddle, the preload is too low. Correct the preload by

tightening the adjustment screw a little.
