BikeOrbit 2.0 install guide
Install your comfort saddle in minutes using basic tools. Follow these steps to remove your old saddle, attach BikeOrbit 2.0 securely, adjust the fit, and check everything before your first ride.
What You’ll Need
Most bikes only need a 5mm or 6mm Allen key. Some seat clamps may use a standard wrench instead. Keep a clean cloth nearby and check your old saddle clamp before removing it.
Go slowly, tighten evenly, and adjust the saddle angle before your first full ride. A small adjustment can make a big difference in comfort.
Place your bike on a flat, stable surface. If you have a bike stand, use it. If not, lean the bike safely against a wall so it will not roll or fall while you work. Wipe around the seat post and clamp area so you can clearly see the bolt and bracket.
Start with a stable bike.
Find the bolt or bolts under your current saddle. Use the correct Allen key or wrench to loosen the clamp. You usually do not need to remove the bolt completely. Loosen it enough so the saddle rails can slide out of the seat post clamp.
Keep the bolt and clamp parts together.
Slide the old saddle out of the clamp and set it aside. Look at how the rails were sitting inside the clamp, because BikeOrbit 2.0 will install in the same general position. Check that the clamp pieces are aligned and not upside down before placing the new saddle.
Notice how the old rails were positioned.
Place the BikeOrbit 2.0 saddle rails into the seat post clamp. Center the rails between the clamp plates and make sure both sides are seated evenly. The wider rear support should face the back of the bike and the front nose of the saddle should point straight forward.
Center the rails before tightening.
Begin tightening the bolt slowly. Keep the saddle straight as you tighten so it does not twist to one side. If your clamp has two bolts, tighten them gradually and evenly. Do not overtighten to the point of damaging the clamp, but make sure the saddle cannot slide or tilt.
Tighten evenly and check stability.
Sit on the bike and check your leg position. Your knee should have a slight bend when the pedal is at the bottom of the stroke. If the seat feels too high or too low, adjust the seat post height before taking a full ride.
A slight knee bend is usually best.
Start with the saddle close to level. If you feel pressure at the front, slightly lower the nose. If you feel like you are sliding forward, raise the nose slightly. Make small changes only, then test again. Small angle adjustments can improve comfort a lot.
Small adjustments work best.
Take a short, slow test ride before going on a longer route. Listen for movement, check that the saddle stays straight, and make sure it feels secure. After your first ride, re-check the clamp bolt because new saddle installations can settle slightly.
Re-tighten after the first ride if needed.
Before you ride, press down on the saddle, move it side to side, and confirm it does not tilt, slide, or twist. If anything feels loose, stop and tighten the clamp again.
Once BikeOrbit 2.0 is installed and adjusted correctly, take a short test ride and fine-tune the height and angle until it feels right for your body and riding style.
