ASSEMBLY Seat clamp AdjusƟng nut 32 ©2010 SADDLE ASSEMBLY The seat post must be inserted so that the minimum insertion mark cannot be seen. The quick release mechanism must be tightened securely to prevent a sudden shift of the seat when riding. Failure to do this may cause loss of bicycle control. The saddle assembly should be adjusted with the saddle centered on the rails and level. Locate the saddle assembly and insert into the frame. It is recommended to add some grease to all threads and binders on a bicycle, especially on the outside of the seat post. Otherwise it may corrode over time, and not be able to be adjusted again. Bolted Seat Clamp If your bicycle has a seat clamp with a bolt, adjust seat to desired height, and tighten the clamp so that the saddle may not turn left or right, or move up or down. Be sure that the seat post is inserted far enough into the frame to hide the "Minimum insertion" mark on the seat post. Riding a bicycle with the seat post above this line is dangerous 3.13 and can cause injury to the rider or damage to the bicycle or create an unstable riding position causing an accident.
