SEATPOST CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
It is essential that all Cervélo Aero Seatposts, have a 45 degree chamfer cut on the trailing edge of the post. If trimming is
required after fitting, the following method is recommended:
1cm
1. Taking care to maintain the minimum required seatpost insertion of 6.5cm and
maximum of 8.5cm, carefully measure and use a light coloured grease pencil to
accurately mark the cut-off location on the seatpost.
2. Insert the S Series Seatpost in the Park Tool SG-7.2 Saw Guide (or equivalent) so
that the cut-off line can be seen clearly through the blade guide in the tool.
3. Using a blade designed specifically for cutting carbon composite materials (or a fine
Cut Line
tooth blade with greater than 32 teeth per inch); proceed with cutting the Seatpost
(as per Park Tool's instructions).
4. Use fine grit sandpaper to carefully remove any fraying or burring from the cut end.
Reposition clamp approximately 10cm from the cut end.
1cm
5. With a grease pencil, mark a point 1cm from the cut end on the trailing edge of
the Seatpost, and another 1cm from the back, on the bottom edge. Draw a line
connecting them, forming a 45 degree guideline.
6. Placing the blade of your saw on the grease pencil mark, very carefully proceed
to cut, resulting in a 45 degree chamfer being cut onto the trailing edge of the
Seatpost.
7. Carefully sand the end and after applying carbon assembly compound, return to
the frame.
If trimming is required, final length should allow for a minimum 6.5cm of seatpost
remaining in the frame. Failure to meet this requirement, may result in damage to
the frame not covered by warranty policy, or serious injury to rider.
