PART II
Periodic Seat Post Inspection
Frequent seat post checks are necessary to identify
the problems that can lead to an accident. Regularly
or in conjunction with your regular bike maintenance
routine, do the following:
1. Remove the seat binder from the frame seat
post. Clean the binder, the seat post, and inside
the seat tube. Use a clean dry towel. Do not use
solvents.
2 Carefully inspect the seat post for damage (e.g.,
cracks, scratches, scrapes, gouges, splintering).
If the seat post is damaged in any way, (cracks,
scratches, scrapes, gouges, splintering), do not
ride it; discard it. Replace it with a new one.
3. Always properly torque saddle to seat post clamp
bolts. Too much torque may break the bolts.
Too little torque will result in movement which
leads to fatigue and bolt breakage.
WARNING
To avoid seat post or frame damage:
1. FOLLOW THE SEAT POST MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS If you do not have the
manufacturer’s instructions for your seat post,
obtain and read them before using the seat post.
2. INSPECT AFTER ANY CRASH, FALL, OR
IMPACT - Remove and inspect the seat post for
damage (eg., cracks, scratches, scrapes, gouges,
splintering). If you find damage, replace it with
a new one. STOP RIDING A DAMAGED SEAT
POST IMMEDIATELY GO TO PART II, Section
D. Inspect For Safety. Read “Understanding
Composites” for information on carbon fiber
3. NEVER FORCE A SEAT POST INTO THE SEAT
TUBE. The seat post should always be a slide
fit. If the seat post is dicult to install, there is
a serious problem. Do not shorten or cut a seat
post. Ask your Cannondale dealer for help in
properly fitting and adjusting your seat post.
4. KEEP THE SEAT POST’S “MINIMUM INSERT”
BELOW THE TOP OF THE SEAT TUBE.
5. USE A TORQUE WRENCH TO TIGHTEN SEAT
POST BINDER AND ALL SADDLE MOUNTING
FASTENERS.
6. NEVER USE LIGHT OR SPRAY OILS TO
LUBRICATE A SEAT POST OR INSIDE THE SEAT
TUBE. Never use solvents, or chemical spray
cleaners to clean the inside of the seat tube.
Wipe out the seat tube with a clean dry towel
only. Light oils (WD40 and oils typically used in
honing) and solvents, and including chemical
cleaners can attack and weaken composite bonds
holding the frame together leading to breakage.
Follow the seat post and frame manufacturer
instructions. See also page 74.
YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED
OR KILLED IF YOUR IGNORE THESE WARNINGS.
