Troubleshooting
Saddle slips after tightening screws
Ensure the seatpost head screws are tightened evenly and to the recommended torque specification. Check that no debris is present on the clamping surfaces of the seatpost head or saddle rails. Consider using a friction paste designed for seatposts.
Difficulty adjusting saddle angle/setback
Loosen both screws completely before attempting adjustment. Ensure the adjustment mechanism is clean and free of grit. If resistance persists, do not force; inspect for obstructions.
Seatpost creaks
Remove the seatpost and clean both the post and the inside of the seat tube. Reapply a suitable grease or carbon paste (depending on frame material) and reinstall, ensuring proper clamping torque.
