Precautions/Notes:
1. We make seatposts with a specific layup for each length to make them lighter. The reinforced zone in which you can clamp the seatpost is limited. The clamping area is below and limited by the max insert line sign.
2. Carbon parts can slide easily on each other. Please use special carbon grease when installing Bjōrn Glagol seatpost.
3. You can reverse the seatpost screws if your saddle has a cut-out.
4. Do not store carbon parts in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

To install your saddle to the Glagol, please, follow these steps:
- If your saddle has carbon rails, you need to apply carbon grease to prevent carbon parts from sliding against each other.
- Don't unscrew the screws completely. Do it to release the fitting plates.
- Insert the saddle sideways at ninety degrees and rotate it.
- Tighten the screws in one by one, steadily leveling the saddle. Allen key easily reaches the bolts, then tightens them properly.
- Then align the saddle horizontally. A wide clamp area reduces saddle rail stress and provides steady saddle fastening.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the seatpost craddle for a maximum torque of 5 N*m.
- Now the saddle is installed correctly.
