INSERTION
Remove the bicycle from the stand and remove the temporary seatpost.
Using a cable housing cutter, cut the dropper cable housing according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the dropper post into the seat tube according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use a torque wrench and 4mm hex bit and torque the seatpost bolt to specification.
Minimum insertion:
The seatpost must be inserted into the frame deep enough so the minimum insertion/maximum insertion
(min/max) mark on the seatpost is not visible. The frame requires a minimum of 80 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 table in the image above
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.
Once the saddle height is determined, torque the seatpost collar bolt to specification. 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! 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.
CAUTION: If a cable-actuated seatpost is inserted too far into the seat-tube, the housing can be damaged
and cause the seatpost to not function properly.
Do not apply grease to the contact surfaces between the seatpost and the seat tube. Grease reduces
friction, which is critical to proper seatpost grip. Specialized recommends the application of carbon
assembly compound (fiber paste), which can increase friction between carbon surfaces. Please visit your
Specialized Authorized Retailer for additional information.
