INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
!
• Failure to follow these instructions and warnings may result in malfunction or breakage of this component,
possibly causing serious injury or death.
• Always use a torque wrench when installing or adjusting fasteners, and always tighten to Redshift torque
specications (or the bike manufacturer’s torque specication). Periodically check all fasteners for tightness
using a torque wrench, since fasteners can loosen under the inuence of road vibration.
• This seatpost is designed for use in a 27.2 mm diameter seatpost. It may be used with larger seat tube
diameters by using an appropriate diameter shim longer than 100mm (4 in.) in length.
• Do not raise the post beyond the minimum insertion line.
• Periodically clean and inspect all surfaces of this component for hairline cracks or signs of damage. If you nd
any cracks or damage, immediately cease using the part and contact Redshift Sports customer service.
• This seatpost is intended for road and light o-road use only. It is NOT intended for extreme o-road use or
jumping. Unintended use may lead to breakage of the component, possibly causing serious injury or death.
• Never place your hands or ngers near the seatpost linkages while riding. Doing so may cause pinching or
crushing injuries.
• For metal-framed bicycles, ensure that the post and the inside of the seat tube are covered with a thin layer of
bicycle grease prior to installation. Failure to do so may cause the post to seize inside the bicycle frame.

COMPATIBILITY
This seatpost is designed for bicycle frames with a 27.2mm diameter circular seat tube. The seatpost may be
used with larger diameter seat tubes by using the correct diameter seatpost shim. In order to reduce stresses
on the post and frame, only use seatpost shims of at least 100 mm (4 in.) in length. Using the seatpost in a
dierent diameter seat tube without an appropriate shim may cause damage or failure of the seatpost or
bicycle frame.
