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o󰀨er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 seatpost can be dismounted easily and that the anti-friction

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 port in the outer

sleeve. With the right tools and a basic technical understanding, you may service the seatpost yourself including cleaning, exchanging or greasing

the bushings and exchanging the cable. If the hydraulic gas spring of the seat post gives way or fails, it must be replaced.

EIGHTPINS

Attention! Do not service the mechanics or the gas pressure spring yourself as the system is under high pressure

and as one may risk severe injuries.

Safety instructions

Assembly and service

The assembly and the service of the Eightpins variable seatpost requires a special understanding of technical matters. Do not overestimate your

own skills but refer to a professional bicycle shop or to an authorized Eightpins service partner at all times. This is the only way a correct service can

be guaranteed.

Modications

The Eightpins variable seatpost is not to be altered in any way. Do not dismount it, sand it down or paint it. Always use a torque wrench where

necessary. Read the manual carefully and follow it step-by-step.

Attention: A seatpost that has not been mounted correctly does not work correctly.This may lead to crashes and

injuries. Besides, the frame can be damaged.

Use and area of application

The intended use of the system is installation in a designated bicycle frame with an postpin mounting interface. The seat post is used to adjust the

heightoftheseatpositionofthesaddleintherangeoftheadjustmentpathspeciedbytheproduct.Therangeofapplicationincludestouringbikes,

trekkingbikesandmountainbikes.Bicycleframesthatdonothavethisfeatureshouldnotbemodied.TheEightpinsvariableseatpostmustonly

beassembledandcombinedwiththeoriginalEightpinsremotelever.Di󰀨erentleverageratioscancauseirreparabledamages.

Modicationstothesystemorinstallationinunapprovedbicycleframesisnotpermitted.

The system is not suitable for children under the age of 12. There is a risk of crushing!

Keep the seat post away from children and keep it out of the reach of children.

The use is only intended for private purposes. The product is not approved for competitions.

EIGHTPINS

The product may only be used by a person who has no physical restrictions and is familiar with the operating instructions.

The use of the product is only permitted by a person sitting on the bike.

Ergonomic aspects:

TheergonomicspointwasconsideredtakingDINENISO12100:2011intoaccount.Sincethetelescopicseatposto󰀨eredbyEightpinsisonlypart

of the bicycle, ergonomic considerations cannot be considered.

Furthermore, it is not a work tool, but a leisure and sports device.

For further questions, please contact your dealer, supplier or manufacturer of your bike.

Specialinformationonhandlinglubricantsandthedangerfromnitrogenwithwhichthegasspringislled,

are also available in the operating instructions.

These can be found at the end of these operating instructions.

Before the assembly

The post-pin mounting interface in the frame contains an adjustment screw on the right side of the frame for vertical alignment of the seatpost.

This screw is already set at the factory and glued with a detachable screw glue.

If the adjusting screw is not included in the frame or adjusted correctly, contact the frame supplier.

Attention: Eightpins decisively advices its customers not to modify a frame in any way, as this

can weaken the frame, cause crashes and lead to severe injuries including death.

Eightpin‘sseatpostsaredividedintotwodi󰀨erentsizeschemes.Thereisasizeschemewith4sizes:S,M,LandXLanda

size scheme with 6 sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL. The size to use depends entirely on the frame size.

UseonlyEightpinscartridgesofthecorrectsizefortheappropriateframesize.(Example:6X-Lcartridgetsintoaframe

with 6-fold size scheme with the size L)

The bushing tube length is selected so that it corresponds to the minimum insertion depth of the seattube in the frame. All

bending forces are transferred to the frame via the bushing tube. When assembling or exchanging the bushing tube, the

correct length must be used. The respective length can be found in the table under the column bushing tube.

It is also important to pay attention to the compatibility of the seatpost tube lengths. The table contains all possible combi-

nations. The corresponding adjustment ranges can also be found in the table. The values refer to the distance between the

bottom bracket and the upper edge of the saddle. Included is a saddle with a height of 4cm.

ATTENTION! Only the intended and compatible seat post sizes, strokes and bushing tube

lengths specied by the bike manufacturer may be used.
