fluid.
Install the IFP tube with the cross holes facing up, into the upper post.
Use your finger to rotate the IFP tube in a circular and side to side
motion until the IFP tube seats itself onto the seal inside the bottom of
the upper post.
Push down firmly on the IFP tube until it snaps securely into the upper
post. When the IFP tube snaps into place, a click will be heard. Ensure
the IFP tube is secured and centered.
Do not scratch the inside of the upper post with the IFP tube. Scratches
can cause leaks.
The IFP tube should be below the top of the upper post when it is
installed correctly.
Apply a very liberal amount of SRAM® Butter grease to the new B1 IFP.

Fill the groove on both sides of the IFP, and coat the outer and inner
surfaces.
The outer and inner surfaces must be coated with grease to prevent
stiction. The groove on both sides of the IFP must be completely filled
with grease to prevent air pockets from developing under the IFP.
Stiction and air pockets will negatively affect seatpost function.
