To secure your seatpost in place, ensure that the clamp is loosened and
oriented with the slot facing towards the front of the bike. Tighten and clamp
the seatpost collar around the seatpost to the designated torque (See Torque
Specifications, p.75).
Minimum & Maximum Insertion: The minimum insertion depth of your seatpost
is at least 3 inches deep (75 mm), but we recommend a depth of at least
100mm. If you cannot reach your desired height with the provided seatpost,
a new ⌀25.4mm seatpost must be installed.
The maximum insertion depth of your post is a little
less than ten inches (250mm). If you use a longer
seatpost, inserting it past 250mm deep will damage
the electronics inside the seat tube.
WARNING: If you attempt to remove the seat tube liner, or insert the
seatpost farther than 250mm, you may cause irreparable damage to
your Faraday and will void your warranty.
HANDLEBARS & STEM
The wiring and routing of your lights involves special requirements for your
custom Porteur stem. The stem faceplate is uniquely designed as a convenient
home for your built-in headlight; therefore, the faceplate is only compatible
with the Porteur stem.
All replacement handlebars must be ⌀25.4mm at the clamp. Consult a
licensed bicycle professional for suggestions and sourcing for handlebars and
accessories.
WARNING: Stem bolts, stem binder bolts, and the stem faceplate bolts
must be tightened to the factory recommended torque (See Torque
Specifications on p.75). Over-tightening or under-tightening these
fasteners may result in loss of steering AND braking control. You could
fall and die.
SHIFTER
If shifting constantly fails or is inefficient, the shifting mechanism needs
to be adjusted. If the shift control or shift cable and housing is damaged,
your shifting may be rendered useless. Bring your bike to a licensed bicycle
mechanic for service or repair.
DRIVETRAIN
Much like in a motor vehicle, a bicycle’s drivetrain is the group of components
that delivers power; in this case, the power’s source—or engine—is your legs.
A Faraday drivetrain consists of a crankset with pedals spinning on a bottom
bracket, and an internal gear hub linked together by a drive chain or carbon
drive belt.
