The bolted connections of the seat post
have to be tightened to the prescribed
torque value. Use a torque wrench and
never exceed the maximum torque values! You
will find the prescribed values in the chapter
“Recommended torque settings”, directly on
the components and/or in the operating instruc-
tions of the component manufacturers on this
CENTURION CD-ROM.

Make sure the saddle is clamped within
the range of the marking on the saddle
rail. Otherwise the saddle rail can fail!
Check the bolts by using a torque wrench once a
month according to the prescribed values.

The setting range of the saddle is very
small. Replacing the stem allows you to
make far bigger adjustments to the rid-
er’s fore-to-aft position, as stems come in differ-
ent lengths. In doing so, you may achieve differ-
ences of more than ten centimeters. In this case
you usually would have to adjust the lengths of
the cables – a job best left to your CENTURION
dealer!

The manufacturers of saddles deliver
their products with detailed instruc-
tions. You find these instructions on this
CENTURION CD-ROM. Read them carefully be-
fore adjusting the position of your saddle. If you
are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your CENTURION dealer.
Adjusting saddle position and tilt
With patent seat posts
(a)
one central Allen bolt
secures the clamping mechanism, which controls the
tilt and the horizontal position of the saddle. Some
seat posts have two bolts side-by-side.
Release the bolt(s) at the top of the seat post. Release
the bolt(s) two to three turns counterclockwise at the
most, otherwise the whole assembly can come apart.
Move the saddle forth or back, as desired. You may
have to give the saddle a light blow to make it move.
Please observe the markings on the saddle rail.
Make sure the seat of the saddle remains horizontal
(b)
as you retighten the bolt(s). Your CENTURION
bike should stand on level ground while you adjust
the saddle.
Having found your preferred position, make sure both
clamp halves fit snugly around the saddle rails before
tightening the bolt(s) to the correct torque value as
prescribed by the seat post manufacturer.
Retighten the bolt(s) with a torque wrench accord-
ing to the instructions of the manufacturer. After
fastening the saddle, check whether it resists tilting
by bringing your weight to bear on it once with your
hands at either end of the saddle.
