PART 3
STEP 5. Installing the Seatpost And Saddle
138690 Rev2 (10/22)
Assembling Your Bike
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
WARNING
All seat posts have a minimum insertion line. The seat post must be inserted far enough into
the bike seat tube to cover this line.
Do not ride without properly adjusting the seat post height and securely tightening the seat
post clamp or quick-release clamping mechanism.
Failure to observe the minimum insertion line or properly tightening the clamping
mechanism could result in seat post system failure, which could lead to an accident, with
risk of serious injury, paralysis or death.
Quick Release Seat Post
This type allows a properly adjusted quick release to adjust and clamp the seat without tools.
Proper initial adjustment of the quick release type may be either with a hand adjustable nut, or a
nut that is adjusted with an allen wrench.
1. Hold the lever end of the quick release open and stationary.
2. Turn the adjusting nut clockwise to tighten it. Keep turning until you see or feel it contact the
frame.
3. Try closing the lever. Your goal is to tighten the adjusting nut enough so that the lever can be
closed but requires significant force to close. You want it to be hard to close, you want to see
the lever temporarily leave a mark on your hand. If it is not hard to close, open and hold the
lever and further tighten the adjusting nut, try again to close. If it is not possible to close or
very, very hard to close, open and hold the lever and slightly loosen the adjusting nut, try
again. Towards the end of the adjustment process, quite small changes, fractions of a turn, of
the adjusting nut are necessary.
4. The lever must be hard to close, the lever must leave a mark on your hand, and the final
position of the lever more than 90 degrees (relative to the bolt) closed.
For all styles, initially tighten the clamp bolt or quick-release clamping mechanism. A good
starting point is to have the saddle about level with your hip. After test riding you will adjust
again to tune fit to your body size and leg length.
Using a torque wrench and the correct size bit, tighten clamp bolts and hidden clamp bolts to
the torque value marked. If no torque marking is present, tighten to 7Nm.
