Assembly preparation
Before you can start with the assembly, the compatibility of the seat tube must be checked:
- Measure the outside dimensions of your seat tube all around with the help of a digital caliper. The dimension must be within a tolerance range of ± 0.2mm from the nominal dimension (see figure below)!
- If the seat tube of the frame meets the tolerance requirements, assembly can begin. If the seat tube is outside the permissible tolerance, the Schraubwürger can not be installed!
If you do not haveaccess to a digital caliperor if you are unsure of the measured values, please contact yourlocal dealerto avoid damage during assembly!
Assembly of the Schraubwürger
After completing the assembly preparations with a positive result, follow these steps to mount the Schraubwürger:
- Unscrew the screw of the Schraubwürger a few turns to relax the clamp and simplify assembly.
- Align the slot of the Schraubwürger with the slot in the seat tube and slide it onto the seat tube.
- Tighten the screw of the Schraubwürger until the seat post is securely clamped. Do not exceed the maximum tightening torque!
The Schraubwürger has to be mountedwithout grease or assembly paste.
Tightening torques
All screws and connectors must always be mounted with a calibrated torque wrench in compliance with the maximum torques! Non-compliance with the torque specifications can lead todefects and injuries!
Torque :
Clamping screw M5 : Max. 5Nm
Intended use
Our products are designed and tested according to the current standards, which define the safety requirements and test methods for mountain bikes off-road and racing bikes for amateur use on public roads. In both cases, the standards for bikes with adjustable saddle height with a minimum saddle height of 635mm apply.
The standards mentioned do not apply to special types of bicycles such as tandems or bicycles which are used for special applications such as tough competition, stunts or acrobatics.
The standards also do not apply to bicycles with a saddle height ≤ 435mm and a saddle height between 435mm and 635mm.
Please note that our products may only be used in the amateur sector under normal conditions.
Storage & transport
When storing or transporting tune components for a longer period of time, follow these guidelines:
- Components must be stored and transported at a temperature of 15-30°C and max. 70% relative humidity.
- Components must not be exposed to direct or indirect sunlight. Ideally, storage and transport take place in a dark place or covered.
- Avoid large temperature fluctuations, e.g. in a car parked in the sun. Torques must be checked again after storage or transport with large temperature differences to ensure proper function.
- Components must be cleaned and checked for proper function before storage. Before the next operation, a new check for functionality must be carried out.
- Wheels should be stored and transported with the tyres fitted. The mounted tyre reduces the spoke tension and thus the load on the hub flange.
- Do not hang up carbon rims or entire bicycles, as the point load can cause permanent damage to the rim.
- Do not hang up stored bicycles by the saddle to reduce the load on the saddle and seat post.

Assembly preparation
Before you can start with the assembly, the compatibility between seat tube, frame and saddle must be checked:
- The rails of the desired saddle must have a diameter between 7-8mm and a center-to-center distance between 43-44mm. The assembly of saddles with oval rails is possible. The saddles from our product portfolio are compatible with our seatposts.
- The frame compatibility depends on the inside diameter of the seat tube and the outside diameter of the seatpost. The two nominal dimensions must match and may differ from each other by a maximum of 0.2mm in order to be able to mount the seatpost in the frame. To check compatibility, the inside diameter of the seat tube and the outside diameter of the seatpost must be measured all around with a digital caliper.
- In order to ensure proper usability of the seatpost, the necessary seatpost height for the desired seating position must be accessible. The length of the seatpost must be selected depending on the frame size, body size and saddle model. The following table provides information on the insertion depth, clamping area and usable height of the seatpost:
If you do not haveaccess to a digital caliperor if you are unsure of the measured values, please contact yourlocal dealerto avoid damage during assembly!
Mounting the seatpost to your frame
After completing the assembly preparations with a positive result, follow these steps to mount the seatpost:
- Check the seat tube for dirt and burrs. If present, clean and deburr the seat tube.
- Check the seatpost for dirt on the clamping area. If present, clean the seatpost.
- Apply a thin film of the enclosed assembly paste to the clamping surface of the seatpost.
- Insert the seatpost into the frame. The seatpost clamp must already be installed before inserting the seat post! Installation after inserting the seat post is not possible! When inserting the seatpost, make sure it is correctly oriented! The longer part of the insertion slope at the lower end of the seatpost must point in the direction of travel!
- Set the desired seat height by moving the seatpost. A repeatable setting can be made using the marking on the back of the seatpost. The marking also serves as a control for the correct installation direction. After installation, the marking must point against the direction of travel!
- Tighten the screw of the seatpost clamp while not exceeding the max. tightening torque in order to fix the seatpost in the frame.
The seat post may only be clamped in themarked clamping area! Clampingoutside the clamping areacan lead todefects and injuries!When clamping the seat post in a work stand, make sure to not exceed the max. tightening torques!The seatpost can be mounted with areduction sleeve. This must be at least 80mm long, slotted and free of lubricants, sharp edges and burrs.
Mounting your saddle to the seatpost
Follow these steps to mount your saddle to the seapost:
- Lay out the individual parts of the clamping subassembly and arrange them according to the following illustration (attention: the screws have different lengths!). The shorter screw is located towards the front of the bike. The correct mounting position of the claws can be seen in the illustration!
- Place the saddle with the rails on the rocker of the seatpost and align the claws by turning them to fit the rails.
- Tighten the saddle by hand by alternately tightening the two screws until the saddle held in place by a slight tension.
- The correct horizontal position of the saddle can be ensured with the aid of a spirit level. If the incline is incorrect, loosen one screw and tighten the opposite screw to adjust the angle.
- After adjusting the inclination, tighten one of the fastening screws to the specified torque. Important: only tighten one of the screws with torque! The second screw is also tensioned due to the rocker of the clamping mechanism. If both screws are tightened with torque, the clamping can be overloaded.
- After assembly, the correct fit of all components should be checked by firmly shaking the saddle and seat post. After the first trip, the torque of the components should be checked again and adjusted if needed.
There must be at least10mm space between the saddle cover and the fastening screws. The fastening screws should protrude one thread from the claw. The titanium screws can be shortened if necessary.For safety reasons, no changes may be made to the seat post.This also includes shortening the seatpost.The use of seatpost trailer hitches, luggage racks and similar accessories is not permitted!
Mounting a saddle bag
The use of saddle bags is not permitted.Contact between a saddle bag and the seatpost may cause damage and will void the warranty.

Assembly preparation
Before you can start with the assembly, the compatibility of the seatpost must be checked:
- Check the compatibility of your seatpost with the dimensions of the saddle rails. The seatpost must be able to accommodate the rails of the saddle without play and show no visible gaps on the clamping parts. The manufacturer of the seatpost often offers separate holders for oval rails. If the seatpost and saddle are not compatible, the saddle must not be used.
- Check for proper clamping and the accessibility of the desired riding position by means of a trial assembly. If the clamping system of the seatpost is not compatible with the rails of the saddle, the saddle must not be used.
- Check the distance between the screws of the saddle clamping mechanism and the saddle cover. The distance between the screws and the saddle cover must be at least 10mm. If the distance is smaller, the saddle cover may be deformed while driving and the screws may rub on the screws. The rubbing can damage the saddle. If the required distance between the screws and the saddle cover is <10mm, the saddle must not be used.
- Check the saddle clamping mechanism for sharp edges. If the clamp is sharp-edged, the edges must be broken with a file before assembly to avoid damage to the saddle rails.
Mounting the saddle
After completing the assembly preparations with a positive result, follow these steps to mount the saddle:
- Insert the saddle into the clamp with the tip pointing towards the direction of travel.
- Roughly set the desired riding position (inclination and horizontal shift).
- Tighten the saddle clamping mechanism according to the instructions for the seatpost. Do not exceed the maximum permissible torque of the saddle!
- After installation, check the riding position and readjust if necessary until the desired riding position is reached. Always check that the clamping is in the permissible range for the saddle!
