FIG. 1
MINIMUM INSERTION (A): To prevent damage to the frame and/or seatpost, it’s important to
have a minimum amount of seatpost insertion in the framepost. This minimum insertion must
meet the following requirements:
The seatpost must be inserted into the framepost deep enough so the minimum insertion/
maximum extension (min/max) mark (B) on the seatpost is not visible.
The seatpost must be inserted into the framepost deep enough to meet or exceed the 90
mm minimum measure insertion depth required by the frame.
Once the saddle height is determined, torque the supplied seatpost clamp bolt to 6.2 Nm / 55 in-lbf.
WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost insertion requirements may result in
damage to the frame and/or framepost and/or seatpost, which could cause
you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! For general instructions regarding the installation of the seatpost,
refer to the appropriate section in the Owner’s Manual. Riding with an
improperly tightened seatpost can allow the saddle and seatpost to slide
down, which can damage the frame and cause you to lose control and fall.
