over the saddle rails.
TECH TIP: The Shiv seatpost can be assembled with outer rail clamps for 7x7 alloy rails or 7x9 carbon rails. Choose the rail clamps that correspond
to the saddle.
NOTE: Ensure that the wedges are parallel to each other. If the wedges are offset relative to each other, they can force the saddle rails
twist, which can result in permanently bent rails and an uneven saddle position.
