  • Place the saddle rails into the top clamp cradle of the suspension seatpost.

  • Ensure the rails are seated evenly in the grooves of the clamp.

  • mountingYou may need to loosen the side bolt using a 5mm Allen. This will allow the side mounting plate to separate enough to allow the saddle rails to be inserted.

  • Adjust the saddle to be centered front-to-back on the clamp.

  • Set an initial neutral angle (top surface parallel to the ground).

3. Tighten the Clamp Bolts

  • Tighten the saddle clamp bolts evenly to secure the rails.

  • If your mirror uses a clamp:

    • Open the clamp and position it around the handlebars. Your mirror arrived with a plastic shim that can be used to protect the finish on your handlebars.
