Refer to the adjacent table for details on saddle height and seatpost insertion limits:

i. The correct frame size must be determined according to the saddle height limits.

A. Maximum Saddle Height.

B. Minimum Saddle Height.

ii. Depending on the size of the frame and the desired saddle height, the seatpost might

need to be cut.

If the desired saddle height is lower than value “C”, Calculate the required cutting lenght

“G” as follow:

“G” = “C” – “Desired saddle height “ + 10mm (to allow adjustment)

Example: For a desired saddle height of 635mm on a XX-Small frame, the required mini-

mum seatpost cut length (G) is:

G = 650 - 635 + 10 = 25 mm

Important: In any case the saddle height can be lower than value “B” .

**Based on saddle with 50mm between center of rail to top.**
