9.6. Ritchey Seat Posts Made of Carbon
Carbon seat posts are only for use on road racing machines, triathlon and
cyclocross bicycles and their typical use.
Insert carbon seat posts only in frames with suitable seat post clamping.
Special seat post clampings reduce the forces occurring at the clamping
slot. Clamping areas with two or more clamping slots are perfect. They
provide an even spreading of the clamping forces, reduce the occurring
pressure and hence the risk of breakage.
9.6.1. Mounting the Seat Post
Read chapter Adjusting the Saddle to the Correct Height” before mount-
ing and observe the working steps and information described there.
Make sure your new seat post has the same diameter as the seat tube of
your frame. See chapter Aluminium and Carbon Framesets“. You should
be able to insert the seat post easily into the frame without pressing or
turning. A mismatch between frame and seat post can cause failure of
the seat post.
Before mounting the seat post to the frame, make sure the seat tube is
absolutely free of lubricants, sharp edges and burrs. Clean and deburr the
seat tube, if necessary. Use special carbon assembly paste to increase the
clamping force.
Carbon and Framesets
Make sure not to overtighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp. Over-
tightening may cause a seat post failure, resulting in a crash and/or injury
of the rider.
Danger:
Even a slight mismatch
between seat post and seat
tube diameter or oil and
grease in the seat tube can
lead to a rupture of the carbon
seat post. This can result in an
accident or injury to the rider.
Danger:
The minimum insertion depth
of your seat post in the frame
is 100 mm. Never ride your
bicycle with the minimum
mark of the seat post being
visible.
