SEAT AND SEAT POST
Your bicycle may come equipped with either a standard or a micro-adjustable seat post.
Standard seat post
Attach the seat to the seat post by first loosening the nuts on the seat clamp. Insert the tapered
end of the seat post
into the seat clamp until it is at the top of the clamp. Partially tighten the
nuts on the seat clamp, then insert the seat assembly into the frame of the bicycle and adjust the
seat to the proper height. The seat post must be inserted to at leastthe “Minimum Insertion” line.
Move the quick release
lever to the closed position. You should feel considerable resistance while moving the lever. If not, re-open and tighten the lever, then move it to the closed
position. See the section in this manual regarding quick releases for more detailed instructions. Adjust the seat to be centered in the clamp and generally
level with the ground, then re-tighten the clamp nuts evenly before riding. Avoid riding the bike with a loose saddle.
Micro-adjustable seat post
Loosen the seat fixing bolt, then slide the seat into the clamp. The two seat rails should fit into the corresponding channels
in the clamp. There is usually no need to completely remove the fixing bolt, but it may be necessary in some cases. Partially tighten the seat fixing bolt, then
insert the seat assembly into the frame of the bicycle and adjust the seat to the proper height. The seat post must be inserted to at least the “Minimum
Insertion” line. Move the quick release lever to the closed position.

NOTE: Some models of bicycles may be equipped with a suspension seat post. Some suspension posts can be adjusted for stiffness using the preload adjusting
screw. Turning the 6mm Allen screw Clockwise will make the suspension stiffer, while turning the 6mm Allen screw Counter-clockwise will make the
suspension softer.
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.
