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 different in comparison to other variable seatpo

sts. The ad-

justment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 travel 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.Ontopofthis,weoffera10-years

warrantyincaseacomponentsuchasthemaintubeorthebushingbreaks.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seat-

post..

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-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 hole in the outer label casing.

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.

Forservicesofallkinds,pleaserefertoyourlocalbikeworkshoporto„Eightpins“LupaanGmbH:

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

Usage as intended

The Eightpins variable seatpost is designed for bicycle frames featuring a Postpin interface. 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.Diffe-

rent leverage ratios can cause irreparable damages.

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part-

neratalltimes.Thisistheonlywayacorrectservicecanbeguaranteed.

Modiﬁ 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.

Compatibilities

TheintegratedEightpinsvariableseatpostisexclusivelydesignedforframeswitha

Postpininterface.Onecannotretrotthisinterfacetoabicycleframe.Refertoyour

local bike shop in case you are in doubt.

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.

Seatpost travel and insert lengths (do not mix up!)

Attention! do not mix up!

Eightpinsvariableseatpostscomewithaframespecicmechaniccapsuleandbushingswithdifferentmeasurements

asrequiredbythemanufacturers.Thelengthofthebushingtubeisthesameastheactualinsertlengthsinceittrans-

fers the lateral forces into the frame.

Attention! One may exclusively use compatible seatpost diameters, variable seatpost travels

and bushing tube lengths as stated by the manufacturers.

Theseatposttubecomeswith480mmasstandardandneedstobecutwhenadjustedtotheriders’size.Whenthe

tubeisshortened,thepartscutmustnotexceedthemaximumtravel.Pleaserefertothechartbelow..

Manual

Using the seatpost

Inordertolowertheseatpost,pushtheremoteleveratthehandlebarandpushdowntheseatpost.Inordertokeep

thenewsaddleposition,releasetheremotelever.Extendingtheseatpostagain,youneedtopushtheremotelever

andwithoutcounterforceletitnditsoriginalheight.TheEightpinsvariableseatpostworksfullymechanicallyand

features click notches every 6 mm.

Attention: The remote lever must not be pushed if the bike hangs on the saddle.

Aligning the seatpost / Operating the overload clutch

TheEightpinsseatpostfeaturesanoverloadrotationclutch.Thisallowsfortheseatposttoturnawayincaseofa

crash and thus prevents both the saddle and the seatpost from damages. If this has happened, the saddle can simply

bebroughtbackintoplacebyturningit.Ifthebreakawayforceistoolow,itcanbeincreased(refertothechapter

“Service”).

Attention: the saddle can be turned to the left or right with a maximum angle of 90°. If it is turned

further, it will be damaged severely.!

Seat height adjustment top position

Refertothechapter“Seatheightadjustment”.

Adjustment of the saddle angle

Refertothechapter“Installationofthesaddle”.

Before every single ride

Checkthefollowingfunctionsoftheseatpostbeforeeveryride:

- In both rotation directions, there should be no play noticeable.

- The seatpost should not have more play than 2 – 3 mm to the front or back. If the clearance is bigger, check the mini-

muminsertlengthandwhetherthebushingtubeisok(alsorefertothechapter“Service”).

-Thesaddlemustnothaveanyplay,thebackscrewistobetightenedwith8Nm

-Themechanicstolowertheseatpostistorunsmoothlyandwithoutfriction.Incaseyounoticefriction,thebushing

tube is to be greased.

-Theremoteleveristorunsmoothly.Thetensioncableshouldbeadjustedcorrectlywhichyoucandowiththecable

tensionadjuster(refertothechapter:“Cablerouting”).Theleverautomaticallyistogobackintoplacewhenreleased.

If this is not the case, you presumably need to replace the cable.

- Check the function of the click mechanism in the top position, in the bottom position and in an intermediate positions.

If you hear a grinding noise, the cable tension needs to be controlled.
