PART 3
STEP 5. Installing the Seatpost And Saddle
138690 Rev2 (10/22)
Assembling Your Bike
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
Place the bike on top of the carton on its side. Remove all packaging materials from the bike.
Use diagonal cutting pliers or stout scissors to cut the zip ties. The front wheel is nested over
the left crank arm. Carefully work the wheel forward until the front wheel spokes are free of the
crank arm. Set the front wheel aside.
If you don’t have a work stand, place the bike back in the carton vertically, with the rear wheel
down on the bottom of the carton and the fork hanging over the end of the carton. As you do so
be sure that the fork and stem faces forward. Set in the carton this way, the bike is held upright
in a convenient place for much of the assembly work.
STEP 5. Installing the Seatpost And Saddle
If the seatpost/saddle assembly has been removed for shipping, install it in seat tube. You may
need to slightly loosen the clamp bolt or quick-release clamping mechanism. Aluminum frames:
Grease inside the seat tube and on the seat post. Grease prevents corrosion which can cause a
seatpost to seize in a frame. Carbon frames: Use carbon paste inside the seat tube and on the
seat post. Carbon paste improves clamping of the seat post without excess torque that could
cause damage. If the seat post does not smoothly fit into the frame, do not force it. Contact
your local bike retailer or call 1800 BIKEUSA.
There are three major types of seat post attachment: Clamp Bolt, Hidden Clamp Bolt, and
Quick Release
Clamp Bolt
1. This type requires an allen wrench to tighten or loosen a bolt that clamps the seat post in the
seat tube.
Hidden Clamp Bolt
1. This is very similar to the clamp bolt style, but the bolt will be recessed, hidden from sight for a
cleaner, sleeker look. For example, the hidden clamp bolt may be at the underside of the junction
of the seat tube and the top tube. Use care to identify the correct allen wrench size. Note the
angle of the bolt and carefully keep the allen wrench aligned.
