CARBON SEAT POST INSTALLATION GUIDE
Please read the following instructions. If you have any doubt regarding your mechanical ability, visit your local authorized Breezer
dealer. Breezer recommends that the seat post be installed according to recommended torque specification by a qualified mechanic.
Please read the following warnings. Failure to follow any warning may result in a catastrophic failure of the seat post,
resulting in serious injury or death. This phrase may not be repeated in connection with each warning.
Warning: This product is designed for road use only. This seat post is NOT intended for off-road use.
Warning: Recommended torques in this guide are specific for Breezer seat posts. Refer to the owners manual for
the mating component’s recommended torque. Use the lowers torque recommendation.
1. SURFACE PREPARATION
Before installing the seat post, follow the steps below:
a. Remove all burrs and square edges from seat tu
be
surfaces in contact with the seat post.
These edges and burrs can dig
into the material, compromising the strength of the carbon.
Warning: Any deep scratches or gouges in the seat post can weaken the seat post resulting in failure, causing
serious
personal injury or death.
b. Round posts: when using a standard seat clamp mechanism, the seat post collar should be positioned 180 degrees
opposite the seat tube slot. This reduces the possibility of the edges of the seat tube digging into the seat post, which can
compromise the integrity.
c. Remove any grease from internal surface of seat tube. Since composite seat posts are non-me
tallic, they will not seize in
the seat tube. Grease reduces the friction that is critical to proper seat post grip.
Note: DO NOT cut Breezer carbon seat posts!

2. SEAT POST SIZING
All posts: Breezer carbon seat posts are 27.2mm in diameter. T o ensure that the diameter of the s eat post conforms to the
diam
eter of the seat tube, che
ck to make sure that there is no pl
a
y while the seat post is inside the frame. If there is pla y or
the seat post lowers into the frame with no resistance, have an authorized Breezer dealer verify the fit tolerance.
Round posts: If the seat post does not install in a straight, smooth fashion, DO NOT
TWIST! If the seat post does not install
properly, it is recommended that the fit be verified by an authorized Breezer dealer. It may be necessary to have the seat tube
reamed to fit properly.
