If the desired seat height cannot be achieved within the minimum
and maximum insertion requirements, the seatpost should be
replaced for a shorter or longer one.
WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost insertion requirements
may result in damage to the frame 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.
WARNING! Do not apply grease to the carbon contact surfaces
between the seatpost and the seat tube. Grease reduces friction,
which is critical to proper seatpost grip. Specialized recommends
that application of carbon assembly paste, which can increase
friction between carbon surfaces. Please visit an Authorized
Specialized Retailer for additional information.
5.4. Seatpost minimum / maximum insertion
A
B
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 frame. The seatpost must be inserted into the frame deep enough
so the minimum insertion/maximum extension (min/max) mark (B) on
the seatpost is not visible. The frame requires a minimum of 75 mm of
insertion.
MAXIMUM INSERTION: The seat tube is reamed to a specified maximum
insertion depth for each frame size. This ream depth limits the insertion
depth of the seatpost. Please refer to the MAXIMUM INSERTION DEPTHS
table.
