Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure your seatpost clamp is compatible with 7mm round rails. When installing, use a torque wrench to tighten the bolt according to your seatpost manufacturer's specifications—typically 5-7 Nm.
Setup Tips:
- Leveling: Start by placing a spirit level on the center of the saddle. Many riders prefer the nose to be perfectly level or tilted down by 1-2 degrees.
- Fore/Aft Adjustment: Due to the shorter length, the effective 'sweet spot' is further forward. You may need to move your saddle back by 10-15mm compared to a standard length saddle.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the `Silkfeel` cover after rides using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh degreasers that can degrade the surface material.
- Periodically check the rail attachment points for any dirt accumulation to prevent creaking.
