Assembly
Saddle clamping
Adjusting the saddle position
Only clamp the saddle inside the 70 mm long reinforced clamping area. This clamping area is indicated
by two stops on top of each rail.
Note the maximum tightening torques according to the instructions of your seat post. Tighten the clamp
of your seat post with the maximum allowed torque, but not more than 10 Nm.
Only use the saddle in combination with compatible seat-posts. Your seat-post is compatible with the
saddle if the clamping mechanism of the seat-post and saddle rail feature the same diameter. Also, the
saddle rail needs to fit backlash-free into the clamping (see figure 1).
Please contact us or your dealer if you feel unsure about the compatibility of your seat-post.
After the assembly please check whether there is enough space between saddle shell and the upper end
of the clamping mechanism (normally the upper end of the clamping mechanism is the end of the clamping
bolts).
During assembly pay attention to the space between saddle shell and the clamping mechanism. A
minimum space of 10 mm should be kept, because the saddle shell is bending while riding. If the distance
is less, you must shorten the clamping screws. For Tune seat-posts we offer screws in different lengths.
It will take some time to find your ideal saddle position. If necessary, you have to try out different positions.
We recommend starting with a horizontal saddle position and then change the position bit by bit until you
find the position that is the most comfortable to you.
To adjust the saddle horizontally you need a level and a rule. Apply the level at the highest point of the
saddle shell. The vertical distance between the forefront of the saddle shell and the level should be 30
mm (see figure 2).
