Look RSP adjustment

Triathlon Forum

Does anyone out there know how to adjust the Look RSP seatpost tilt? It’s currently at a slight upward angle and I prefer my seat level or a degree or two down in the front.

Let me know if you’ve had any luck! Thanks

Well, I tried reversing the saddle but that makes the upward angle even more steep.

I’m checking with the shop but if anyone new happens to have an answer, that would be great!

I have a look 576, and am not exactly sure what you are talking about. My seat post is adjusted with the elastomers (up and down) and can be reversed forward and backward to change the STA. Also the angle of the seat can tilt in almost 360* but I am not aware of any other adjustments. Did you mean any of these?

The Look RSP is the same design as the Look 496Tri seat post, so you can’t reverse it. With the “head” facing in the normal back position, you can easily get a few degrees down. Basically, you have a half-moon shaped slide with a reversed half-moon seat mount that you can tilt forward or backwards, as well as move forward and backward.

Here’s a link to the picture of my seat post. There is a circular piece that the seat rails slide into and then a bolt/clamp holds it in place. The circular piece (with the arrow) is what I would expect to tilt but it seems like it’s glued to the seat post. Is this the same post that you have?

I’m thinking that I don’t have the same seat post that you’re talking about. Here’s a pic. The only thing I removed was the bolt and bracket that clamp the rails in place. The circular piece (with the arrow) does not move easily and has no screws or bolts that I can see to loosen it. Is there something staring me in the face that I’m missing?

Thanks

I have a Look 596 with the same seat clamp. The outer circular piece with the arrow has a taper fit with a mating metal piece permantly attached to the post. Tap the circular piece hard with a rubber mallet or piece of wood and it should free up and fall right off. Same with the other side. The outer piece(s) often gets stuck on due to dirt and the tight fit.

Take a look at the link above for reference.

Awesome, I’ll give it a shot…I just didn’t want to break anything but it looks like it is supposed to come apart.

Thanks!
