Introduction
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
MTB SEATPOST
Your new carbon seatpost withstands highest stress and has been made to the latest
and most efficient methods of design and manufacture. This includes special features
that must be considered for installation.
Please read these instructions carefully and make sure that they are observed.
As a buyer of our carbon products, you are certainly aware of the importance of the
careful installation of your new carbon tube.
If you feel uncertain about the installation of your new seatpost, please contact us or
your nearest dealer presenting these installation instructions.
Tightening torques are low and so special installation compound for carbon (do not use
installation grease!) can help improve the reliability of clamping.
Tighten the screws of the seat post maximum to 5 Nm.
Tighten the screw of the seat post clamp at the frame maximum to 6 Nm. If the frame
manufacturer recommends higher tightening torques, these normally are for
thick-wall aluminium posts and not for your new carbon post.
From practical experience we recommend applying some Loctite thread locker (light or
medium) to the screw thread. This ensures that the screws cannot come loose even
during rough rides.
Non-compliance with these installation instructions or of the specified maximum
tightening torques voids your warranty and any claim under it and exposes you and
others to an incalculable risk.
Your new seat post has a 120mm tightening zone located above the "Minimum inseart"
line, this zone must be respected in its entirety! Make sure that the seat post is inserted
in the bike frame deep enough for the seat clamp to be in this area. In no case should
the seat post be fixed outside this marking. The seat post is reinforced only for the
specified clamping forces, so if you attach the seat outside the specified range, it will
damage your new PROTOTYPE seat post (even if you do not see the damage directly)
and pose a huge safety risk for you.
