Seat Post
Installation & Adjustment
Before installing:
•
To ensure good clamping and avoid creaking,
remove all residual carbon gel paste in the
wedge/frame interface. Use a clean cloth
and rubbing alcohol and wipe the frame and
wedge. Wipe again using a clean area of the
cloth and repeat until the cloth comes away
clean. Apply fresh grease to the wedge as
indicated in the illustration.
•
Apply fresh carbon friction gel to the seat post
and place a little bit inside the seat tube.
•
Make sure the cover is in good condition and in
place on the seat post.
To adjust:
1. Insert the prepared seat post into the frame.
2. Set the saddle height. Maintain the specified
minimum insert.
3. Insert a 4 mm hex through the underside seat
tube opening as shown.
4. Tighten the binder screw to the specified torque.
5. Slide the cover against the frame.
5. If the saddle angle adjustment is required,
loosen the saddle clamp bolts, adjust the saddle,
and tighten to the specified torque.
NOTICE
•
Use only solvents specified in the
instructions.” Use only a clean, dry shop
towel.
•
Do not exceed the specified torque. If
you over-tighten the binder bolt, you will
damage the binder, seat post, or frame.
Minimum Insert
The minimum insert depth the seat post must be
inserted into the frame is 65mm.
Maximum Insert
The total length of seat post that may be inserted
will vary with the frame size and should be checked
in each frame.
To check, carefully slide a seat post into the frame
until it stops; then lift it up 5mm.
NOTICE
A seat post should not be bottomed out inside
the frame at any time. If necessary, have
your Cannondale dealer cut the seat post
appropriately.
THE SEAT POST MUST ONLY BE CUT BY A
PROFESSIONAL BIKE MECHANIC
. Incorrectly
cutting the seat post can result in damage
leading to an accident.
