General
Thank you for equipping your bike with an Eightpins variable seatpost, a highstandardized, highly technical product for mountain bikes. There is a
variety of points to take into consideration assembling and using the seatpost. As a result of the integration of the seatpost, it is designed entirely dif-
ferent in comparison to other variable seatposts. The adjustment of the seat height as well as the adjustment of the travel of the seatpost is realized
with one single tube. The mechanics for this is directly connected with the frame via the Postpin axle that absorbs all axial forces. The lateral forces
are absorbed by the bushing tubes and thus by the frame. It is therefore crucial to mind the maximal extension as well as the minimum insert length.
Attention! If assembled or used in a wrong way, you may hurt yourself as well as damage the frame or
the seatpost.
Make sure all adjustment elements are in place at all times and that the tension of the cable is adjusted correctly. In case you do not have the skills
to assemble the seatpost, please refer to your local bike dealer or the service center in your country.
Attention! Read the following assembly information and manual carefully and stepby-step and mount
the Eightpins seatpost only according to the instructions.
Warranty Policy
We offer a two-years warranty for your seatpost beginning at the date of purchase. The warranty exclusively includes the repair or exchange of the
components damaged. In order to claim a warranty case, the receipt is obligatory. Common wear, usual services and wrong assemblies are not
covered by the warranty. If the seatpost has been altered in any way, the warranty automatically expires; the rider is responsible for any damages
caused by any alteration of the seatpost.
Service
As to the service, a major advantage of the Eightpins variable seatpost is that the main tube can be dismounted very easily and that the anti-fricti-
on bushing can be cleaned and/ or exchanged quickly. In case you notice a higher friction in the system, it can be greased via a grease ort in the
outer sleeve. With the right tools and a basic technical understanding, you may service the seatpost yourself including cleaning and greasing the
bushings, pumping up the system, readjusting the tension of the overload clutch and exchanging the cable.
In general, not much servicing is required. The locking mechanism does not wear out. In case the gas pressure spring loses pressure, it is to be
sent to us or brought to a local service center, as the sealing needs to be exchanged.
