Carbon seat post
28.5.1 Before your first ride
Carbon seat posts are only designed for
being used on road and triathlon bikes
as well as on cross country and mara-
thon mountain bikes and their intended
use. Carbon seat posts are not designed
for extreme situations, such as free-riding,
dual slalom, downhill, drops and such
like.
Only mount carbon seat posts to frames
with suitable seat post clamps. Special
seat post clamps reduce the forces occur-
ring at the clamping slit.
If necessary, use special clamps that are suit-
able for carbon seat posts.
28.5.2 Adjusting the correct saddle height
Release the bolts of the seat tube clamp by two
to three turns. Then pull the seat post upwards
or push it down until the saddle height match-
es your needs. During the adjustment, avoid
any rotating movement of the seat post in the
frame, as this would scratch the surface of
the seat post. Do not use brute force for the
adjustment.
If the seat post cannot be shifted easily and
smoothly up and down in the seat tube, ask
your MERIDA dealer for help.
Never grease the seat tube when
mounting a carbon seat post. The
grease would penetrate the surface of the
carbon material, reducing the coefficient
of friction and hence impairing the stability
of the clamping joint. Once in contact with
grease or oil, a carbon fibre part may never
be able to be clamped in a secure and safe
way again.
