AsmentionedinPart2,theseatcanbeadjustedinheight,angleanddistancefromthehandlebarstosuitthe
individual rider.
Seatangleisamatterofpersonalpreferencebutthemostcomfortablepositionwillusuallybefoundwhenthetopoftheseat
is almost parallel to the ground, or slightly raised at the front.
The seat can also be adjusted by sliding it forward or back along the mounting rails to obtain the most comfortable reach to the
handlebars.
Whenfitting,positiontheseatpostintotheclampundertheseatandplaceitintheframewithouttightening.Adjustittothe
desired angle and position and tighten the clamping mechanism.
There are two types of seat clamps commonly in use. The most common employs a steel clamp with hexagonal nuts on either
sidetotighten.Theothertype,knownasamicro-adjustableclamp,usesasingleverticallymountedAllenheadfixingboltto
tighten.Afterfixingtheseattothedesiredpositiononthepost,adjusttheheighttotherequiredlevelandtightenthebinder
bolt.
Notethatthetypeofbinderboltmaybeeitherahexagonalbolt,anAllenheadboltoraquickreleasemechanism.The
operationofaseatpostquickreleasemechanismisthesameasforquickreleasehubs.(Refertopages62-63)
Testthesecuritybygraspingtheseatandtryingtoturnitsideways.Ifitmoves,youwillneedtofurthertightenthebinderbolt.
Note:Rememberthattheminimuminsertionmarkmustremaininsidetheframeassembly.
