All seat post models must be inserted into the bicycle’s seat tube
to cover the minimum insertion line indicated on the seat post.

post and/or bicycle and
may result in a loss of control
of the bicycle which may
lead to serious injury or
death.

this point.

SADDLE INSTALLATION
When the desired seatpost orientation is determined and the
saddle head clamp parts have been aligned with the front of the
bicycle, the saddle can then be installed.
To install the saddle, replace the two saddle head clamp bolts,
spherical nuts, upper and lower floating clamp in the order in
which they were removed.
Before tightening, place the rails of your saddle between the
upper and lower floating clamps so that the rails seat in the
channel provided by the lower floating clamp.
Using a 4mm hex wrench, tighten the two head clamp bolts to the
maximum torque indicated on your KS dropper post head clamp.
Torques may vary by model.
See note below
WITH STANDARD GRIP
Using a 3mm Hex wrench, loosen the remote lever clamp pinch
bolt and remove the bolt. Open the hinged lever clamp and
position it in the desired location on your handlebar. Close the
clamp and install the pinch bolt. Tighten to a maximum torque of
5 N-m (LEV alloy remote) and 1N-m (LEV Integra polycarbonate
remote).
WITH ODI LOCK-ONTM COMPATIBLE GRIP
The alloy remote lever clamp can be used to replace the inner
lock ring on ODI LOCK-ONTM compatible grips. Remove the inner
lock ring on your grip. Replace with the seat post remote lever
clamp. Follow the instructions above. NOTE: Polycarbonate

Remote Lever Cable Housing
Your new LEV seatpost includes a 1700mm long cable, 1500mm
long cable housing, and an in-line barrel adjuster. Depending on
your own requirements, you may need to shorten the cable to
minimize excess slack when mounted to your frame.
With the remote lever installed on your handlebar, route the cable
housing according to your frame manufacturer’s
recommendations. You will need to cut the housing into two
pieces to fit the in-line barrel adjuster. The total length of the two
pieces of housing and barrel adjuster must be long enough to
properly route from the remote lever to the seatpost.
Feed the inner wire through the remote lever, integrated barrel
adjuster and cable housing.
