BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE SEATPOST
Please be sure your new KS seatpost is designed to fit in your
frame. All LEV Integra models are designed to fit either 27.2mm,
30.9mm, 31.6mm or 34.9mm seat tube inner diameters in frames
originally designed for internal cable routing. Improper fit may
cause slippage, faulty performance, injury and may result in void
of warranty.
KS Suspension DOES NOT recommend modification or
alteration of your frame in any way. Doing so may void
your frame or bicycle’s warranty and may result in frame
failure which could lead to injury or death.
Make sure your frame is clean and free of debris, grease
and the inside of your seat tube is smooth and free of any
object that may score the seatpost.
Apply grease to all seatpost bolt threads.
Apply a friction or anti-seize compound to the inside of the
seat tube and inserted surface of the seatpost. Do not use
grease.
LEV-Ci: This seatpost uses a
carbon fiber composite
mast. Always install in a
clean dry frame and
always use fiber prep or
suitable compound.
Always use the torque
wrench when tightening
the seatpost binder bolt.
DO NOT EXCEED 5n-m.
