IMPORTANT: there should always be at least 1 x 3mm spacer in the

seat clamp at all times. Failure to do so may result in premature

damage to the seat tube and void your warranty.

With the saddle and seat clamp fully installed on the new frame,

measure this new distance from the center of the bottom bracket to

the top of the saddle. Subtract the distance of your old position from

the new distance on the Ridley. This difference is the amount you

must cut from the seat tube.Remove the seat clamp and measure

the distance to cut from the top of the seat tube. Using the Ridley

cutting guide (supplied with frame) and a fine-tooth cutting saw

suitable for cutting carbon fiber, cut the excess seat tube from the

frame. Clean the freshly cut area with a file to remove any burrs and

splinters.

You can now mount your seat clamp and saddle and begin riding.

Make sure to tighten the seat clamp bolt to maximum 4Nm. You can

insert additional spacers if you wish to adjust the height of the

saddle, however make sure that some part of the seat tube is always

visible in the seat clamp window – failure to do so may cause the

seat clamp to be unstable and prematurely damage the seat tube.

4.1.2.b. Front and back adjustment

Loosen the saddle clamping mechanism (see Fig. 6a, b or c) and

slide the saddle backwards or forwards on its rails. Start with the

saddle clamped in about the middle, then adjust forwards or

backwards until you find the position that is most comfortable for you.

4.1.2.c. Saddle tilt adjustment

Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders prefer to

have the saddle nose tilted up just a little, and others prefer it to be

tilted down just a little. You can adjust saddle tilt by loosening the

saddle clamping mechanism and tilting the saddle to the desired

position.

After making these adjustments, the saddle clamping mechanism

should be retightened until secure. One method for testing whether

you have tightened the saddle adjusting mechanism securely is to

firmly grasp both ends of the saddle and attempt to rock the saddle

front to back or to twist the saddle side to side. There should be no

saddle movement in any direction. If, after making this adjustment,

the saddle still moves in any direction, return to your Authorized

Dealer for assistance.

Very small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect

on performance and comfort. Consequently, whenever you make a

change to your saddle position, make only one directional change at

a time, and make the changes in small increments until you have

found the position at which you are most comfortable.

WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, be sure to tighten the

saddle adjusting mechanism properly before riding. A loose saddle

clamp or seat post binder can cause damage to the seat post, or can

cause you to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened saddle

adjusting mechanism will allow no saddle movement in any direction.

Periodically check to make sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism

is properly tightened.

If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and fore-and-aft

position, your saddle is still uncomfortable, you may need a different

saddle design. Saddles, like people, come in many different shapes,

sizes and resilience. Your Authorized Dealer can help you select a
