Seatpost Cutting Instructions - Cervélo S5 Assembly Manual

SEATPOST CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: It is essential that all Cervélo Aero Seatposts, have a 45
degree chamfer cut on the rear trailing edge of the post. If trimming
is required after fitting, the following method is recommended.
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 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.
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.
