FAQs

How do I determine the correct seatpost diameter for my bike?

Check your bike frame's specifications or measure the inner diameter of your seat tube.

The preload adjustment allows you to customize the seatpost's suspension to suit your weight and riding style.

How often should I check the seatpost for maintenance?

Inspect the seatpost regularly, especially before long rides, to ensure it is clean and functioning correctly.

Can I use this seatpost on a mountain bike?

While the seatpost can be used on mountain bikes, it's primarily designed for road and gravel bikes. Consider your riding style and the terrain you typically ride.

Use shims specifically designed for seatposts. Ensure the shim matches the size difference between your bike's seat tube and the seatpost.

Troubleshooting

Seatpost feels too stiff or bouncy.

Adjust the preload setting. Increase preload for a stiffer feel, and decrease it for a softer feel.

Use the micro-adjusting forged head to fine-tune the saddle angle until it is comfortable.
