To install the REDSHIFT SPORTS ShockStop Pro Suspension Seatpost RT, follow these steps:
1. Prior to removing your existing seatpost, measure and record the height, fore-aft position, and tilt angle of your saddle for future reference.
2. Remove your existing seatpost and saddle. Clean the inside of the bicycle’s seat tube and ensure that it is free of burrs and sharp edges. Apply a thin layer of grease to the inside of the seat tube, except for carbon frames unless specified by the frame manufacturer.
3. Insert the ShockStop seatpost into your bicycle seat tube to the desired height. Ensure that the seatpost is inserted far enough into the seat tube that the minimum insertion line on the seatpost is not visible above the frame’s seatpost clamp.
4. Tighten the bicycle’s seatpost clamp bolt according to the bicycle manufacturer’s torque specification.
5. Loosen the saddle clamp bolts using a 4mm hex wrench until the threads are barely engaged in the nuts. Install the saddle between the upper and lower clamp. Some saddle rail shapes may require the bolts to be fully unthreaded from the nuts to install the saddle.
6. If installing the seatpost fender, completely remove the rear saddle clamp bolt from the nut, loop the fender o-ring around the bolt under the upper saddle clamp, and reinstall the bolt.
7. Lightly tighten the front and rear clamp bolts to hold the saddle in place. Make sure the hex wrench is fully inserted into the hex hole in the bolt heads to avoid damaging or stripping the bolt.
8. Position the saddle in the desired fore-aft position within the saddle clamp.
9. Adjust the saddle angle by tightening or loosening the front or rear saddle clamp bolts using a 4mm hex wrench. Once the desired saddle angle is achieved, alternately tighten both bolts in quarter turn increments. Use a torque wrench for the front bolt and a standard hex wrench for the rear bolt. Stop tightening both bolts once the front bolt reaches 6 N-m of torque. Do not exceed 9 N-m.
10. If necessary, adjust the saddle height.
11. Install the fender against the rear linkage by placing the fender magnet on the front saddle clamp bolt.
