i used a piece of a PBR can (square, wrapped around, and 1 ply) as a shim between the post and the clamp. has worked fine so far. scared to adjust it though

There is a clamp/lever at the top of the bike frame where the seat post slides into the bike. You pull out the clamp and it will loosen the post allowing you to adjust your seat height by pulling up/down on the seat. Once you have your seat height hold it at your specific height while clamping back down on the lever.

turn the clamp lever clockwise 1 turn and try it. if that isn't enough try another turn.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. My chair seems to work fine. Wish I had a suggestion for you.

pull up the (disengage) the lock. I have to tilt the stool and push one of the legs toward the other. I usually do this with my foot. It takes a bit of pressure to close it and I find that this works best for me.

You have to loosen the big round thing under the seat which controls the extent of the tilt. Then lift the lever, lean back, and you can feel the seat tilt up. Then press the lever to lock the tilt.

I think your seat is so thick and rigid. If it is, you can get a new seat which is thinner and more flexible. Look for the plastic and cheaper ones at walmart.

A wrench is needed to tighten the appropriate bolts holding the seat. Should solve the problem.

I do but i clamp the top tube instead of the seat post. (Instructions say to clamp to tube on every bike) all the other bikes i use the seat tube.

yes it is frustrating. i pull the straps as tight as i can and then pull down on the strap that tightens it. it feels like it is off the track or something. it is my biggest complaint about this seat as i feel i can't get the straps as tight as they should be.

i had the same problem so i had it brought it to the bike shop. i share all the sentiments of michael b. not only that, the seat is very stiff and provides a very uncomfortable ride. i can only last a few minutes. the bike is hardly used.

It attaches directly to the rails on the seat. If your seat has the traditional steel clamp on it then you must remove that first. There are 2 bolts that hold the seat in place, one is a plastic knob that you tighten by hand and the other is an allen head bolt for tightening the seat into position. Don't completely take these off as they are a pain to put back on. Loosen them up enough to slide the rails of the seat into the clamp from the back end (open part) of the seat. Once the seat is on, snug up the bolts and use the plastic knob to adjust the seat to the desired angle. Then tighten the allen bolt to the recomended torque and away you go.

The clamp is plastic and yes it clamps to the seat post. It's adjustable and turns 360degrees so you can clamp it where you want.

It is adjustable. How much ? Depends on the shape and thickness of the armrest of the seat. The clamp is plastic, so the sustainable stress is low.

Ummm well, how to describe.... Just secure it to the base, or anything that you can hook it to. The "leg"of the seat. It may end up restricting moving seat forward or back if you need to. But most time I personally don't move my seats much. If you do move it, then you can adjust straps again. Hope this helps?

none. My feeling is this..for the price..if you are going to replace things on it, for what you will pay for the part you might as well invest more into a ride that already has what you're looking for. On this ride, I dont like the clamp but the clamp isnt standard size so it doesnt replace easily.
