Seat Clamp; Testing Seat Tightness - Kogan FORTIS 700C User Manual

Step 6: Seat clamp
• As your bike has a standard seat clamp (see Figure 9), use an Adjustable Wrench to
tighten the nut securely.
• If your bike has a bolt on seat clamp , use a 4, 5, or 6 mm Allen Key to tighten the bolt
securely.
• The seat should not be able to move back and forth, up and down, or side to side with
the seat clamp tightened.

Testing Seat Tightness

A er installing the seat post into the bicycle and tightening the clamp, test the tightness of
the saddle. Hold the seat firmly with both hands and try to move it side to side. The seat
post should not move at all. The seat post and seat also should not move when the rider is
seated. Ensure the seat clamp nuts at the top of the seat post are tight so that the seat
does not tip forward or backwards.
