If the seat tube diameter is not printed at the base of the current seatpost, measure the post diameter with calipers. [. . . ] Tighten saddle clamp bolts and seatpost clamp bolt (or quick release lever) securely. Tightness of saddle clamp bolts and seatpost clamp bolt (or quick release lever) should be checked at regular intervals after installation. !v WARNING To ensure that you have selected the proper seatpost size for your frame, and for instructions for the proper installation of the seatpost or saddle, consult a qualified mechanic. SADDLE HEIGHT 1. To determine proper saddle height, sit on the bike while wearing riding clothes. Rotate the crankset to the 12 o'clock and six o'clock positions. In this position, you should be able to place your heel comfortably on the pedal and your leg should be fully extended. When pedaling backwards, if you have to rock your hips to reach the pedals, the saddle is too high. If proper saddle height cannot be achieved without raising the post above this line, you need a longer seatpost, or a larger frameset. SADDLE HEIGHT 1.
