To test the tightness of the seat clamp and the post clamp:

WARNING: Every time the quick release mechanism is loosened, make sure the red reflector is correctly positioned as shown in fig. 13 next page.

Try to turn the seat side-to-side and to move the front of the seat up and down.

If the Seat (14) moves in the Seat Clamp (fig 10a):

Loosen the Seat Clamp (A).

Put the seat in the correct position and tighten the Seat Clamp tighter than before.

Do this test again, until the seat does not move in the Seat Clamp.

If the Seat Post (33) moves in the Seat Tube (B):

Move the Quick Release Lever (C) to the “open” position.

Put the seat in the correct position and tighten the Quick Release Lever tighter than before.

If necessary, loosen Quick Release Lever , tighten Adjusting Nut (D) and re- tighten Quick Release Lever .

Do this test again, until the seat post does not move in the seat tube.
