1. Apply grease to the conical surfaces of the clamp mechanism A and install them into the seatpost B .<br />
2. Engage the saddle rails into the slots of the conical portions of the clamp mechanism, then place the outer caps C over the saddle rails.<br />
TECH TIP: The Shiv seatpost can be assembled with outer rail clamps for 7x7 alloy rails or 7x9 carbon rails. Choose the rail clamps that correspond<br />
to the saddle.<br />
NOTE: Ensure that the wedges are parallel to each other. If the wedges are offset relative to each other, they can force the saddle rails<br />
twist, which can result in permanently bent rails and an uneven saddle position.<br />
3. Install the nut D . To avoid damage to the clamp mechanism, the arrows must align to ensure the tab is placed in the groove of the outer cap E .<br />
4. Install the bolt F . Use blue threadlocker (Loctite 242) on the threads, place into the opposite side outer cap and thread into the nut. Tighten lightly.<br />
5. Install the seatpost into the seat tube.<br />
G<br />
6. Adjust the saddle G to the desired tilt angle and fore-aft position.<br />
7. Torque the seatpost bolt to 120 in-lbf (13.5 Nm).<br />
