Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom bracket or top
tube as a reference point (d). Clamp the seat post tight again by closing the quick-release, as described in chapter «Using quick-releases» or by turning the seat post binder bolts clockwise in half turns or better in steps of 0.5 Nm increments starting at 3 Nm. You should not need much strength in your hands to clamp the seat post sufficiently tight. Otherwise the seat post does not match the frame.
Verify in between that the seat post is sufficiently tight by taking hold of the saddle at both ends and then trying to rotate the seat post inside the seat tube
(e). If it does rotate, gently retighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp by half a turn or better by a quater turn or in steps of 0.5 Nm increments and do the check again.
Does the leg stretch test now produce the correct result? Check by moving your foot and pedal to the lowest point. When the ball of your foot is exactly above the pedal center in the ideal pedaling position, your knee should be slightly bent. If this is the case, the saddle height is adjusted to the correct height.
Check whether you can touch the ground safely while sitting on the saddle by stretching your feet to the floor. If not, you should lower the saddle until you can, at least to begin with.
WARNING
Never apply grease or oil into a seat tube of a frame made of carbon unless an alloy sleeve is inside the frame. If you mount a carbon seat post, do not put any grease on it, even if the frame is made of metal. Once greased, carbon components may never again ensure reliable clamping! Use special carbon assembly paste instead (f).
Make sure not to overtighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp. Otherwise you may damage the seat post or the frame. Risk of accident!
