The life span of LOOK components depends on many factors, such as how it is used and the
morphology of the cyclist. Impacts, falls, improper use, or any sudden impact in general, may
compromise the structural integrity of the components and significantly reduce their life
expectancy.
Some components are also subject to wear over time. Have your bicycle inspected regularly
by an authorized LOOK retailer to verify the absence of cracks, deformations of any kind, and/
or signs of fatigue or wear. If an inspection reveals any deformations, cracks, signs of impact
or stress marks, even minor in appearance, immediately replace the component in question;
components that have experienced excessive wear must also be immediately replaced. The
frequency of inspection depends on many factors. See your authorized LOOK dealer. The
components to be replaced must be done so by an authorized LOOK retailer.
The list of replaceable components is available at any authorized LOOK retailer.
LIFE SPAN - WEAR - INSPECTION REQUIRED
Cycling is a dangerous activity by nature. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to maintain your
bicycle properly, and install and adjust all components correctly. While practicing the sport
of cycling, always wear a helmet and know and respect the rules of the road. Beware of the
dangers of the road and traffic. Learn about the laws currently in force in the country where you
are located. If you ride at night, it is not enough to see, but vital to be seen by others. Standard
reflectors are not sufficient and cannot replace quality front and rear lights. Wearing reflective
clothing is strongly recommended and potentially mandatory in some areas or countries.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING!

The E-Post is the concept of an integrated seat post, patented by LOOK, that allows the seat
post to be supported by the seat tube of the frame. There is, therefore, no risk of the post
slipping into the frame. Anti-rotation is ensured by the non-circular shape of the post and seat
tube.
The concept incorporates an elastomer sleeve that ensures the filtration of vibrations,
increasing comfort when riding the bicycle.
The E-Post 2 EVO offers a setback of -15 mm. This model is not reversible. It is compatible with
the standard Selle Italia Monolink® saddle via an optional adapter kit.
The E-Post 2 EVO is only compatible with the LOOK 795 bicycle.

To remove your saddle, or adjust its position, loosen the screw, a few turns, that holds the upper
brackets in place (11).
Gently apply force, alternating between the front and back of the saddle, to loosen the seat
brackets. If they do not come free, due to over tightening, use a small headed mallet and tap
lightly on the screw head, still bound by a few threads, at various angles in order to free the
opposite side.
The tightening of the E-Post 2 EVO is done with a single screw.

Notes :
• When a saddle is already installed
on the bicycle, you cannot use a torque
wrench. However, it is still possible to
tighten/loosen the seatpost. To do this,
use a 4mm hex or Allen key by inserting
it into the opening of the screw head.
Tighten moderately so as to not exceed
4Nm.
• To remove your seatpost, loosen the
screw as needed. THE E-POST 2 EVO
should easily come free. If it does not,
loosen the screw some more.

Your new bicycle requires that the seat tube be cut to fit your personal seat height. For this operation,
it is best that you contact your authorized LOOK retailer.
1. Introduce the seatpost into the frame and adjust the horizontal position of the saddle.
2. Before cutting, measure the saddle height of the new bicycle with the saddle in place.
3. Calculate the length “L” to be cut using the following formula: L = seat height on the new bike -
personal seat height
4. Remove the seat post.
5. Place a strip of adhesive tape, centered on the length “L”, in order to protect the post while cutting
6. Install the cutting tool as necessary and
according to the “L” position and tighten to 3
Nm. (Fig.13)
7. Cut the tube using a saw (24 or 32 teeth/inch)
inserted into the tool’s sawing slot. Position the
bicycle in the stand in such a way as to saw in
a vertical position.
8. Remove the cutting tool and deburr the end of
the tube with a piece of fine grain sand paper.
Verify that the end of the tube is clean and free
of paint.
CUTTING THE SEAT TUBE HEIGHT

You can adjust the saddle height by adding
more spacers. THE E-POST 2 EVO comes with
the following spacers: 1mm (qty. 1) / 2mm (qty.
2) / 5mm (qty. 1) / 10mm (qty. 3). The maximum
height allowed for the added spacers is
30mm (i.e. 3x10mm spacers, stacked). To
adjust your seat height:
1. Loosen the 2 EVO E-Post and remove it
from the frame.
2. Place the spacers on the seatpost as
indicated on fig. 14.
3. Install the seat post as per the procedure
previously provided.
