FRAMES  
The Command Post seat post provides riders with a way to adjust their saddle height  
without tools. Although created by the Specialized Suspension team, the Command Post is  
NOT a suspension seat post.  
Visit a Specialized authorized dealer if you have any doubt regarding your mechanical  
proficiency and/or ability to install this product. Specialized recommends that the  
Command Post be installed by a qualified bicycle mechanic.  
Please read and understand all the warnings. Failure to follow a warning may result in a  
catastrophic failure of the Command Post, resulting in serious personal injury or death.  
This phrase may not be repeated in connection with each and every warning.  
• SEAT COLLAR I.D.  
TERMINOLOGY  
Power position: When the Command Post is at full height. Used when full power  
is needed, such as climbing a long, steep hill or riding a smooth, flat section. This  
position provides the full 100mm of available seat post height.  
Cruiser position: When the Command Post is in the middle position. Used for  
pedaling on undulating terrain. This position is 35mm below the Power position.  
INSTALLING THE REMOTE LEVER  
Descender position: When the Command Post is at its lowest position. Used for  
riding downhill/freeride terrain. This position is 100mm below the Power position.  
The remote lever is connected by cable to the Command Post. A left-handed remote lever  
ships with the Command Post; however, the remote lever can be positioned on either side  
of the handlebar, if desired.  
Remote Lever: Used to actuate the Command Post.  
INSTALLATION  
NOTE: If saddle is already installed, rotate the saddle out of the way, leaving the saddle head  
lever exposed.  
Take the following items into consideration before installing and using the Command Post.  
To install the remote lever:  
The air pressure in the Command Post is factory set to 25 psi. Air pressure  
determines the speed at which the Command Post rises. See SETUP AND USE for  
more information.  
1. Determine which side the remote lever will be installed on (see fig. 3).

The Command Post is 30.9mm in diameter. Prior to installation, ensure that this  
diameter conforms to the diameter of the seat tube.

WARNING! Incorrect sizing interface can result in Command Post slippage or  
failure, causing serious personal injury or death.

DEVICES  
(BRAKE, SHIFTER)  
The Command Post should not have any play inside the frame.  
The Command Post should slide into the seat tube in a straight, smooth fashion.  
The seat collar should be positioned so that the slot faces forward to minimize dirt  
contamination from the rear wheel.

(NOT INCLUDED)  
If the Command Post exhibits any fit and/or torque issues, it is recommended that  
the fit tolerance be verified by a Specialized Authorized Dealer.

INSTALLING THE COMMAND POST  
1. On non-carbon frames only, grease the seat tube I.D. and Command Post O.D. (see fig.  
2).  
2. Unscrew the hex on the remote lever using a 4mm hex key, and lightly grease the clamp  
2. Slide the Command Post into the seat tube.  
I.D. (see fig. 4).  
3. Adjust the Command Post to approximate height for proper leg extension. The  
Command Post ships in the Power (full height) position. While in the Power position,  
determine saddle height like you would a standard seat post.

Leave the Command Post in the Power position during installation. This will  
ensure that the cable housing is at the correct length.  
4. Adjust seat collar torque to recommended setting (see fig. 2).  
NO GREASE!

IMPORTANT! Recommended torques in this manual are specific for the Command  
Post. Consult the bicycle owner’s manual for recommended torque. Always use  
lower torque recommendation.  
4MM  
WARNING! Only use seat collars approved by Specialized with the Command  
Post. Use of an unapproved seat collar may result in slippage and potential  
damage of the Command Post.  
15 in-lbf (1.7 N-m)  
The following 30.9 collars have been tested and recommended:  
Specialized fixed and Q/R collars  
Salsa Flip-Lock Q/Rs  
NOTE: Do NOT apply grease if the remote lever is to be installed on carbon handlebars.  
3. Clamp the remote lever on the handlebar, ensuring that the remote lever is the handlebar  
device closest to the stem (see fig. 3). Before installing and tightening the hex screw,  
operate the remote lever to ensure it doesn’t impede on other devices already on the  
handlebar, such as shifters and brake levers.  
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Use only hand pressure on Q/R lever. Only use enough tension  
to keep the post from slipping. If you are having slipping issues, friction compound pastes or  
talc powder can be used on aluminum and carbon frames.  
4. Screw the hex on the clamp and torque to 15 in/lbs. using a torque wrench and a 4mm  
hex key (see fig. 4).  
WARNING! Seat collar torque requirements can vary depending on the specific  
frame and seat clamp used. Exceeding the max specified torque limit (see fig. 2)  
can result in damage to the Command Post and/or frame. Consult an authorized  
dealer for additional information.  
5. Insert the cable through the slot on the remote lever. Pull through until the cable head  
rests in the slot (see fig. 5).  
6. Insert the cable into the 90-degree pipe, making sure to insert the cable through the  
non-grommeted end (see fig 5).
