1.

FASTENING

If the fastening uses a clamp, check first that this is compatible with the Selle Royal product that you bought. If not, ask your supplier for a clamp that better suits your new saddle by Selle Royal.

If there is already a Selle Royal clamp, remember that the tightening torque must not exceed 24.4 Nm.

If the saddle is fastened to a tube with integral clamp, ask the tube supplier for the right fastening torque.

If possible choose a tube with an ample contact surface and rounded edges. The scheme below explains which clamps are compatible with saddles by Selle Royal, dividing them by two criteria: the structure (springs/fork) and the length of the saddle. The data identified refer to the technical specifications that the clamp must have to be compatible with your new saddle.

If however this position is uncomfortable, ask your supplier to fix the saddle at a slight angle, up or down, according to the position that best suits your needs and is as comfortable as possible. After each adjustment, make sure the saddle is firmly connected to the saddle carrier tube.
