Probka saddle user's manual
Please read this Technical instruction carefully, and save this link for later reference. These instructions will help you install your Probka saddle correctly and use it for a long time.
Manufacturer’s Installation Recommendations: Always adhere strictly to the installation recommendations provided by the manufacturer. Deviating from these guidelines may result in improper installation and compromise the performance and safety of the Probka saddle.
Setting up the horizontal position: To set the saddle to the horizontal position, place a book or any other flat object on the saddle and use the water pass.
Torque Values: Comply with the torque values specified by the seat post manufacturer when tightening the saddle. Over-tightening may lead to damage, while insufficient torque might cause the saddle to shift during use. Always follow the recommended values for a secure and safe installation. If you have the Glagol seat post, please follow this link.
Seatpost Compatibility: Select a compatible seatpost for use with the Probka saddle, preferably one with carbon-tight fittings. Avoid using metal fittings with sharp edges, especially from ENVE, as they can cut carbon rails like a guillotine because of different material hardness. A larger contact area between the rails and the seatpost is preferable for better stability and safety. Check if you have proper seatpost fittings for oval rails in case your seatpost uses side clamping system.
Damaged Saddle Repair: Never attempt to repair a damaged Probka saddle on your own. All repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer, and any damaged saddle should be accompanied by the purchase invoice. DIY repairs may compromise the structural integrity of the saddle, leading to potential safety hazards.
Cleaning Instructions: Clean the saddle with water, using a bicycle pressure washer is not prohibited.
Storage Precautions: Avoid storing carbon parts, especially the Probka saddle, in direct sunlight for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may adversely affect the materials and overall performance of the saddle. Store the saddle in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Remember that proper care, adherence to installation guidelines, and regular checks contribute to the longevity and optimal performance of your Probka saddle. If in doubt or if you encounter any issues, contact the manufacturer for professional assistance.
