7: ATTACH THE SEAT

WARNING!
Improperly adjusted seat height could affect the rider's ability
to reach the handlebar and pedals resulting in unexpected
movement, loss of control and serious injury or death. Follow
these guidelines when adjusting the seat height. Always ensure
the seat post minimum insertion marks are below the seat
clamp and cannot be seen. Ensure the seat clamp is locked and
the seat cannot move.
There are two kinds of seat clamps; bolted and quick-release, and
two kinds of seat posts standard and micro-adjust. The seat
assembly should be adjusted with the seat centered on the rails
and level. It is recommended to add some grease to all threads
and binders on a bicycle, especially on the outside of the seat post.
Otherwise it may corrode over time and not be able to be
adjusted again.

❶ Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, loosen the seat clamp bolt and
insert the seat post into the seat tube. Figure 3.15
❷ Adjust the seat height up or down until the rider feels they
have control of the bicycle and is comfortable.
Important! Be sure the minimum insertion marks do not go
past the top of the seat clamp and are not visible. See Section
1, Fig. 1.2: Seat Height and Handlebar Reach.
