RISER, PAD & EXTENSION INSTALLATION
STEPS:
The TA FRD armrests can be set up in three distinct congurations—Low, Mid or High—each utilizing
a unique selection of spacers to achieve the rider’s desired position. The Mid conguration can even
be set up in two different heights, depending on the specic spacer used (5mm or 10mm). Refer to the
diagrams on the following page for detailed views of the specic components required.
IMPORTANT: For all congurations, make sure to insert the anti-crush washers
into the extension brackets. Using a torque wrench, tighten bolts to 6-8 Nm.
PARTS:
A. Aerobar
B. 2 x Extensions
C. 2 x Extension brackets
D. 2 x Upper aero nut
E. Aero spacers (5, 10mm)
F. 4 x M5x12mm at head socket cap screw
G. 2 x Arm rest bracket
H. 2 x Arm rests
I. 2 x Arm rest pads
J. Anti-crush washers
K. 2 x M6x15mm socket cap screw
L. 4 x Extension bolts (40, 45, 50, 55mm) 6-8 Nm
M. Fit Washers
REQUIRED TOOLS:

SEATPOST INSTALLATION
STEPS:
1. Position wedge with taper facing towards the rear of the frame, and the end of the wedge with more material
above the bolt hole to the top.
2. Hold the wedge in place against the frame using your ngers.
3. Insert both M5x18 socket head cap screws through the frame and into the seatpost wedge.
4. Insert seat post into seat tube, sliding wedge into the bottom of the seatpost.
5. Using a 4mm Allen key, repeatedly alternate the tightening of the top and bottom screws to ensure
even pressure. Using a torque wrench, fully tighten both screws to 6 Nm.
PARTS:
A. Seatpost
B. TA FRD seatpost wedge
C. 2 x M5x18 socket head cap screw
REQUIRED TOOLS:
-4mm Allen key
-Torque wrench

SEATPOST HEAD & SADDLE INSTALLATION:
STEPS:
1. Place each Saddle Clamp Upper into a Saddle Clamp Adjustment Head Half, positioning them so the hooked
surfaces are adjacent and can grip a seatpost rail.
2. Place each Saddle Clamp Lower onto a Saddle Clamp Upper, aligning its holes with the oval-shaped holes of
the Saddle Clamp Uppers.
3. Place the bolt and nut threads-down into the holes of the two stacks of Saddle Clamp parts, aligning tooth on
nut to slot in Saddle Clamp Lower.
4. Turn each stack upside down so that the threads face away from your work surface. The chamfer of the
Adjustment Head Half will be placed in contact with the chamfered surface of the seatpost. Apply friction paste
between surfaces.
5. Place one stack thread-side down into the seatpost so the chamfer of the Adjustment Head Half is in contact
with the chamfer of seatpost alloy insert.
6. Holding the remaining stack of pieces in place on the other side of the seatpost, align the bolt threads with the
nut threads and tighten loosely.
7. Slide a saddle (not included) into the saddle clamp assembly beginning from the rear of the saddle.
8. Once your preferred saddle angle and fore/aft position are established, tighten the saddle clamp bolt to 10-12
Nm using a torque wrench.
PARTS:
A. 2 x Saddle Clamp Upper
B. 2 x Saddle Clamp Adjustment Head Half
C. 2 x Saddle Clamp Lower
D. Saddle Clamp Binder Nut
E. Saddle Clamp Binder Bolt
REQUIRED TOOLS:
-4mm Allen key
-Torque wrench
-Friction paste
