Masterpiece Seatpost Riders Take Note
When installing a saddle on a Masterpiece seatpost please note the following. Use no grease on the bolt head or washer that secure the saddle clamps. Torque to a maximum of 45 inch pounds (5.1Nm) Degrease under bolt head and both sides of washer. Failure to follow these directions may cause damage to your Masterpiece post. |

Notes on Torque
Our instructions for both our stems and seatposts call for grease only on the threads of the bolts. Greasing under the heads of the bolt is not needed and can greatly change the amount of force generated by the bolt at our recommended torque, this can lead to premature failure of your components. With all Thomson products please take special care to grease only the threads of the bolt and use a torque wrench. Doing these things prolongs component life and gives you a better margin of safety while riding. |

Rumor Control
We do not usually respond to rumors but lately there has been a persistent one that we make military equipment. For the record, Thomson does not and has never made military equipment of any kind. All our aerospace work is for commercial or general aviation. Please contact us if you have concerns to get your questions answered directly. |
