1. SURFACE PREPARATION
Before installing the seat post, follow the steps below:
a.Remove all burrs and square edges from seat tube surfaces in contact with the seat post. These edges and burrs can dig into the material, compromising the strength of the carbon.
Warning: Any deep scratch or gouge in the seat post can weaken the seat post resulting in failure, causing serious personal injury or death.
b.Round posts: when using a standard seat clamp mechanism, the seat post collar should be positioned 180 degrees opposite the seat tube slot. This reduces the possibility of the edges of the seat tube digging into the seat post, which can compromise the integrity of the seat post.
c.Remove any grease from internal surface of seat tube. Since composite seat posts are noNmetallic, they will not seize in the seat tube. Grease reduces the friction that is critical to proper seat post grip.
Note: DO NOT cut Fuji carbon seat posts!

2. SEAT POST SIZING
All posts: To ensure that the diameter of the seat post conforms to the diameter of the seat tube, check to make sure that there is no play while the seat post is inside the frame. If there is play or the seat post lowers into the frame with no resistance, have an authorized Fuji dealer verify the fit tolerance.
Round posts: If the seat post does not install in a straight, smooth fashion, DO NOT TWIST! If the seat post does not install properly, it is recommended that the fit be verified by an authorized Fuji dealer. It may be necessary to have the seat tube reamed to fit properly.
Warning: Incorrect sizing of a seat post can result in slippage or failure, causing serious injury or death.
