To ensure your seatpost is working smoothly and serves you well for a long time, you need to maintain it properly and regularly. We’ve made the service procedures as easy as possible to make sure you spend more time on the trails.

Using power washers

Use only low pressures to avoid dirt getting in. Do not overuse a power washer in general, as this might trap water in your other components too.
If you notice your seatpost action slowing down, use a little bit of teflon lube on the seal lip, cycle the post up and down a few times and wipe off the lube.

Cleaning dirt from the seal: after every ride

Keep your seatpost clean. Use a little bit of suspension oil around the seal lip and cycle the seatpost up and down a few times. Wipe off the dirt and oil from the stanchion and from the seal.
If you notice your seatpost action slowing down, use a little bit of teflon lube on the seal lip, cycle the post up and down a few times and wipe off the lube.

Occasional bleeding: when needed

We’ve designed the system to require as little attention as possible, but just as with any other hydraulic components, you need to bleed it from time to time (usually when it develops sag). The procedure is very easy. It takes only a few minutes and can be performed at home. You don’t need to send your seatpost away for service. You do not even need to remove the seatpost from your bike. Use our bleed kit provided in the box – otherwise no special tools are needed. Use videos on our website in SUPPORT section.

Our bleed procedure, even though it’s very quick, lasts much longer than similar solutions used on competition posts, that usually are just a temporary fix and need to be reptated often.

Full service: once per year and after every 300 hours

Take the seatpost apart, clean and lubricate. More often if you ride in very muddy conditions or use power washers excessively.
