If you have a single bolt system (a), unscrew the

fixing bolt as far as possible without loosening the

lock nut on the outer side of the clamping device. In

general, it is not necessary to take the mechanism

completely apart, if it is already equipped with the

correct outer clamps for your saddle.

If you do find it necessary to unscrew the single fixing

bolt completely, remove it from the clamping device.

This releases the outer clamping parts. The inner

clamping parts are held in position with a rubber re-

tention plate.

Mount the saddle rails into the inner clamping parts,

add the outer parts and re-insert the fixing bolt.

If the width of the saddle rails does not fit exactly

into the clamp grooves, do not try to force them in.

The clamping mechanism or the saddle rails could

break and result in an accident and/or injuries to the

rider. Use a different saddle model or contact your

CENTURION dealer.

If the saddle rails fit into the clamp grooves, slide the

saddle on the seat post and ensure that the clamp is

positioned midway along the total length of the rails

(b). Position the saddle so that its upper surface is

parallel to the ground.

Tighten the bolt gradually and make sure

1) the clamping device is still accurately mounted on

the carbon seat post head and

2) the clamp is tightening evenly around each rail.

Once there is uniform hold on both rails, tighten the

bolt gradually with a torque wrench

have reached the maximum torque value indicated in

Newton meters (Nm) on the seat post.

Check the bolts by using a torque

wrench once a month according to the

values indicated directly on the com-

ponents and/or in the operating instructions of

the component manufacturers on the enclosed

CENTURION CD-ROM.

Poorly tightened or loosening bolts can

fail. Risk of an accident!
