  1. G'day,

    my new kh uni came with a double bolt seatpost clamp and i was just
    wondering if there was any special way to tighten them - like should i
    tighten the top bolt first or the bottom one first or both evenly?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Max

  2. I think the top one is supposed to tighten up more, to keep it...
    tight.

    Just make sure not to overtighten it and all that, a bent seat post
    tube is most not exellent.

  3. get them both snug, then give equal 1/4 turns till tight. reverse for
    losening.

    I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but
    unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it
    the dioflip

  4. You need to tighten them both at once and keep them even. Because the
    clamp moves in when tightening, the bolt that you aren't turning will
    get looser, so you must keep going back and forth until they are both
    snug. If you do top then bottom, the top will be loose once you finish
    the bottom.
