The assertion of warranty rights assumes that all information on assembly, handling and maintenance of the operating instructions has been complied with. The product must not have been modified or used in combination with incompatible parts or non-original Eightpins replacement or wearing parts.

NGS 1 service & maintenance

The Eightpins seat post has the advantage that the seat post tube can be removed and installed very quickly and the sliding bushings can be cleaned or replaced quickly. If the sliding properties deteriorate, the seat post can be quickly relubricated via a grease nipple in the outer sleeve. Small jobs such as cleaning and greasing the sliding bushings as well as changing the cable can be carried out by following the instructions. The prerequisite is an existing technical understanding and the correct tools.
The following activities must be carried out on a regular basis:
