The seatpost is xed into place via two bolts (3) on the
rear of the seat tube. Tighten the bolts to the specied
torque (max.5-6 Nm). The bolts push the clamping
plate against the seatpost to keep it securely in place
in the frame.
5.3 Installing the saddle
The saddle can be simply and safely installed using the
Ritchey 1-bolt clamp included with delivery. To enable
the installation of various saddle models, in addition to
the 7x7mm clamps for standard seat stays, a 7x9.6mm
clamp for oversized carbon seat stays is also included
with delivery.
5.4 Installing the Ritchey 1-bolt
clamp
1
To install the saddle, loosen the transverse retaining
bolt (1) as far as possible, without loosening the
locking nut on the opposite side of the clamp. As
a general rule, you do not have to disassemble the
whole mechanism if it has already been equipped with
the appropriate external clamp (7x7mm/7x9.6mm) for
your saddle model. Then thread the saddle rails into
the clamping mechanism and place it on the seatpost.
When axing the saddle, check that the mounting
mechanism of the seatpost is clamped in the middle.
Now gradually tighten the retaining bolt (1) and make
sure that the clamping mechanism is still sitting pre‐
cisely in its correct location on the seatpost, and that
the saddle rails are equally gripped by both sides of
the clamp.
Now tighten the retaining bolt (1) until you reach
the maximum torque specied by the saddle manufac‐
turer.
DANGER
The saddle must be clamped to the
seatpost only within the area indi‐
cated by the scale. Note the stop
markings on the saddle and do not
exceed these. Information about your
saddle and about correct clamping
can be found in the manufacturer’s
user manual.
Please always observe the maximum
torque specied by the saddle manu‐
facturer for clamping the saddle.

Storage box
6.1 Preparing the storage box
To protect against damage during transport, the
storage box is supplied in a closed state.
In order to open the box prior to initial use, the locking
tab must be cut open at the marked point using a
sharp blade, as shown.
