ADJUSTMENT TO THE RIDER
FORE-TO-AFT POSITION AND SADDLE
Clamping with two bolts in line
Release both bolts by two to three turns at the most,
otherwise the whole assembly can come apart. Move
the saddle forth or back, as desired, to adjust the
horizontal position. Tighten both bolts evenly so the
saddle remains at the same angle.
If you wish to lower a little the nose of the saddle, turn
the front bolt. It might be that you have to loosen the
rear bolt a little. To lower the rear part of the saddle,
the rear bolt has to be turned. Having found your pre-
ferred position make sure both clamps are correctly
aligned with the saddle rails before tightening the
bolts to the correct torque setting as prescribed by
the seat post manufacturer.
Please observe the recommended tightening torques
in chapter "General notes on care and inspection".
After fastening the saddle check whether it resists
tilting by bringing your weight to bear on it once with
your hands on the tip and once at the rear end.
Bring the saddle rail in a position that the
seat post clamping is within the marked
area. If there is no marking, the clamping must
be effected on the straight portion of the rail and
on no account on the front or rear bend. Risk of
breakage!
Release both bolts by two to three turns at the most
Retighten the bolts evenly and alternately to the prescribed torque
Be sure the saddle rail is clamped within the marked area
When replacing the saddle, bear in mind
that seat posts are normally designed for a
saddle rail diameter of seven millimetres. Saddle
rails of other dimensions may result in seat post
failure, possibly throwing the rider off his bike.
FORE-TO-AFT POSITION AND SADDLE
Saddle clamp Speedmax
Insert the Speedmax seat post into the seat post
to the desired saddle height. Tighten the two Allen
bolts that point to the rear to the indicated tightening
torque of 3 Nm.
The saddle fixing is carried out with the Allen bolt on
either side of the saddle (I in the picture on the right).
When fixing the saddle make sure the top plate of the
clamping lies close around the saddle rail and tighten
both Allen bolts to the indicated tightening torque of
5 Nm.
The two Allen bolts positioned below (see II in the
picture on the right) are designed to adjust both tilt
and horizontal position of the saddle. These two bolts
allow changes to the tilt and horizontal position of the
saddle without releasing the clamping mechanism.
To change the horizontal position of the saddle, re-
lease the two lower positioned Allen bolts by two to
three turns at the most. You can now move the saddle
horizontally and adjust the tilt to your needs. Subse-
quently, tighten both Allen bolts evenly so the saddle
remains at the desired angle. Use a torque wrench. In
the event there is no firm clamping of your seat post
at 5 Nm, carefully increase the tightening torque in
small steps to a maximum of 8 Nm. Do not exceed the
maximum tightening torque!
After fastening the saddle check whether it resists
tilting by bringing your weight to bear on it once with
your hands on the tip and once at the rear end.
Use a torque wrench and never exceed the
maximum tightening torque!

Allen bolts to fasten and adjust the Speedmax saddle clamping
Never ride your bike with the seat post
drawn out beyond the maximum mark! The
seat post might break or sustain damage. Risk of
an accident!
Bring the saddle rail in a position that the
seat post clamping is within the marked
area. If there is no marking, the clamping must
be effected on the straight portion of the rail and
on no account on the front or rear bend. Risk of
breakage!
Check the bolts by using a torque wrench
once a month according to the values in-
diated in chapter „Recommended tightening tor-
ques", in the enclosed manuals or directly on the
components.
