ADJUSTING THE SADDLE OFFSET

The saddle clamp can be assembled forward or backward. So you can compensate with a +5mm
or -25mm position.
WARNING: Saddle clamps must be assembled as illustrated. If the clamps are not
aligned, they may damage the saddle.
This may result in damaging the seatmast, and seatmast failure can result in serious
personal injury or death.
Offset:-25mm
‡ ISP SYSTEM TORQUE VALUE
WARNING: Bolts that are too loose or too tight can cause failure. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum torque value. Over-clamping bolts may damage components or frame, which could
result in serious personal injury or death.

VECTOR SEATPOST AND SEAT CLAMP

(NON-ISP MODEL)
The Giant Vector Seatpost is built with Giant Composite Technology for lightweight, aerodynamic
performance. To achieve the best riding experience and proper saddle height, the seatpost may
need to be cut.
WARNING
·
Cutting the seatpost is a complicated task that should be performed by a professional
mechanic.
·
If you have any doubts about your ability to cut the seatpost correctly, please contact
an authorized Giant dealer.
·
Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty, and could damage the
frame and/or the seatpost, which may result in severe injury or death.
CAUTION: Use the carbon assembly paste for final installation, which could prevent
the seatpost from slipping down and damaging the frame. It could also prevent possible
creaking due to the friction between the frame and the seatpost.
Seatpost Cutting Procedure
‡ Determine the length to cut
1. Install your saddle to the Giant Vector Seat-
post and adjust the saddle to a horizontal
position.
2. Adjust the seatpost up and down and deter-
mine the correct saddle height. If the saddle
cannot be lowered far enough for proper fit,
because the seatpost meets the seattube
curve inside the frame, the seatpost must
be cut.
3. The seatpost should be cut at a 45-degree
angle so that the bottom of the post slopes
downward from the rear side to the front.
This will help prevent damage to the frame
if the seatpost is pushed too far down in the
frame.
