Testing Seat Clamp and Post Clamp Tightness

To test the tightness of the seat clamp and the post clamp:
• Try to turn the seat side-to-side and to move the front of the seat up and down.
• If the seat moves in the Seat Clamp:
• Loosen the Seat Clamp Nut.
• Put the seat in the correct position and tighten the Seat Clamp tighter than before.
• Do this test again, until the seat does not move in the Seat Clamp.
• If the Seat Post moves in the Seat Tube Clamp:
• Loosen the Seat Clamp Lever.
• Put the Seat Post in the correct position and tighten the Seat Clamp Nut tighter than
before.
• If necessary, tighten or loosen Hand Nut so that Quick Release tightens securely.
• Do this test again, until the Seat Post does not move in the Seat Tube Clamp.
