SEATPOSTS: INSTALLATION

TECHNICAL FAQ

How do I install a carbon seat post?

Before you start you should check the frame’s seat tube for sharp edges. Remove any such sharp edges or burrs. Check for correct fit. Seat tubes and seat posts come in many different diameters. Make sure you have a seat post that matches the inner diameter of your frame seat tube. Clean all existing grease from the inside of the seat tube. Apply FSA Installation Compound (included with carbon seatpost) on the seat post. Insert the seat post into the seat tube. Do not use rotating motions as this may scar the seat post. The seat post must be inserted far enough to cover the minimum insertion line. Tighten the seat post binder to the torque recommended by the frame manufacturer.
