After any saddle adjustments, make sure that the seat adjusting
mechanism is properly tightened before riding. Failure to do so can
cause damage to the seat post and/or can cause you to lose control and
fall. When properly tightened, the seat should not be able to move in any
direction. Periodically check to ensure it is properly tightened.
