ased. Only carbon assembly paste may be
used.
•
Seat posts made of aluminium may only be
tted using a carbon assembly paste.
2. Push the saddle with seat post into the
seat tube until the desired saddle height
is obtained. In this position the lower end
of the seat post (length (x)) must be at
least (y) mm below the top edge of the
seat tube (see denition below).
Do not rely on the marking on the seat
post.
To check the correct insertion distance (y):
hold a nger tip against the seat post
when tted directly above the clamp.
Keep your nger tip in this position and
withdraw the seat post from the seat
tube.
Hold the seat post laterally beside the
seat tube so that your nger is again level
and directly above the clamp.
In this position the lower end of the seat
post (length (x)) must be at least (y) mm
below the top edge of the seat tube.

Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
An over-tightened carbon bre seat post
can break when riding and lead to dange-
rous riding situations, falling, accidents
and material damage.
•
The seat tube clamp must be tightened
rmly in order to prevent the seat post from
lowering into the frame or laterally twisting
during the ride.
•
If the seat post does not remain in the desi-
red position, even though you have reached
the maximum admissible tightening torque,
please consult your specialist dealer imme-
diately.
