Seat Post Clamp – Quick Release
Many IZIP and eZip bicycle models use quick release(QR) levers to facilitate common tasks such as front
wheel removal and seat height adjustment. When properly adjusted, quick release levers are both safe and
convenient, but you must understand and apply the correct technique to adjust them properly before riding
your bicycle to prevent serious injury or death from a fall.
Quick release levers use a cam action to clamp the wheel or other components in place. Because of their
adjustable nature, it is critical that you understand how they work, how to use them properly, and how much
fore you need to apply to secure them.
Adjusting a quick release seatpost clamp
In a seatpost quick release system, the seatpost is clamped in place by the force of the quick release cam
pushing against one side of the clamp and pulling the tension adjusting nut. Turning the tension adjusting
nut can make the different between safe clamping force and unsafe clamping force.

1.With the quick release clamp in the OPEN position, insert the seatpost, with saddle attached, into the
bicycle's seat tube.
2.Swing the quick release lever into the CLOSED position.
3.Grab the saddle with both hands and attempt to rotate it(and thus rotate the seatpost in the seat tube)
4.If you are able to force the seatpost out of alignment with the frame, the seatpost clamp needs to be
adjusted. Holding the quick release lever in the OPEN position with one hand, tighten the tension
adjusting nut with your other hand about 1/2 turn clockwise.
5.Attempt to swing the lever into the CLOSED position. If the lever cannot be pushed all the way to the
CLOSED position (figure b),return the lever to the OPEN position, then turn the tension adjusting nut
counterclockwise one-quarter turn and try tightening the lever again. Repeat steps 3,4 & 5 until proper
quick release tension is achieved.
