torque setting for seatpost

father_jack

Just picked up a Ritchey Comp V2 seatpost, but no mention in the instructions nor on the seatpost what the torque setting should be for the two upward facing saddle clamp bolts.

You have these?

Suggests the torque settings should be written on the seatpost itself??

father_jack

yes I do, and no it doesn't.

I have the same seatpost. The torque setting is 16NM max for the two saddle clamp bolts. It's printed clearly on mine, but perhaps your bolts are reversed?
Hope this helps.

Nope , nothing on it regarding torque.

Strange. Still, the max torque is 16NM for those bolts. :-)

father_jack

that seems a bit high. I've used 10nm on a larger, single bolt seatpost

I agree. I tighten them to c. 10. I suppose it is just the maximum torque setting after all.
