The seatpost should be cut from its original condition when the saddle height that you require 
is lower than the minimum saddle in the chart above.

Be slow and careful when inserting the seat-
post into the seattube. Too much downward 
force may damage the frame and/or the 
seatpost.

The minimum insertion of the Vector seatpost 
is 90mm. Do not overcut the seatpost. It is 
necessary to make a precise measurement 
before cutting the seatpost.

If the seatpost reaches the seattube curve 
shape when riding the bike, it will damage the 
frame.

Note:

 In original condition, the seatpost length against frame sizes is as follows: 

Note:

 The maximum seatpost insert depth is at 30mm above than the seattube curve. Do not 

let the seatpost reach the seattube curve shape when riding the bike.

WARNING: 

Cutting the seatpost

Installation

It is recommended that you use a professional saw guide and a fine-tooth saw to cut the 
seatpost. 

Cut the seatpost at a 45-degree angle so that the 
bottom of the post slopes downward from the rear 
side to the front side. This will help prevent damage 
to the frame if the seatpost is pushed too far down.  

Ensure the seatpost length is correct before instal-
lation.

Make a clean cut carefully.

Remove the saw guide and carefully sand-down any burrs with fine emery paper. Clean 
off the dust with a damp rag and discard it immediately. 

Install the saddle onto the seatpost and recheck the target saddle height.

The seat clamp system provides optimal integration with the 
frame, and also better clamping with the Vector seatpost.

Place the saw guide at the precise location of the desired cut. Be sure to double-check 
your measurement.

Slightly insert the Vector seatpost into the seattube. 

Attach the seat clamp to the seatpost backward, 
then slightly insert the clamp into the seattube until 
it stops. (Refer to following figures.)

Adjust the saddle to your height preference, and 
then fasten the clamp bolt with M5 hex key to the 
maximum torque: 7 Nm / 62 lbs-in / 71kgf-cm.

CAUTION: 

Use a fine-tooth (32 teeth) saw 

blade to avoid damaging the composite fibers.

CAUTION: 

Do not splinter the composite when finishing the cutting process.

WARNING: 

Be sure to wear appropriate 

safety equipment, such as glasses, gloves 
and a dust mask. Make sure not to inhale 
any of the dust!
