Saddle Clip Mounts
Framesandgear Saddle Clip Mounts provide a precise conversion solution for bikes that use proprietary seatpost clamps. Many modern frames rely on brand-specific saddle interfaces, which limit the rider’s ability to choose aftermarket saddles. Therefore, these mounts allow cyclists to replace the original system with a standard rail configuration. Additionally, they ensure that popular saddles from major brands can be installed securely on bikes with non-standard designs.
Framesandgear produces each clip with exact tolerances, since even minor variations in clamp angle or spacing affect fit. As a result, these mounts offer a stable and safe connection between the seatpost hardware and the new saddle rails.
Key Features
Framesandgear focuses on compatibility, precision, and ease of use. Additionally, every Saddle Clip Mount includes:
- A CNC-machined structure built for accuracy and repeatability
- A rail interface shaped to match common 7×10 and 7×9 (carbon) rails
- A geometry that aligns with the original seatpost angle
- A straightforward installation with the existing hardware
Moreover, the mounts help riders switch to their preferred saddle shape without compromising the bike’s factory seatpost system.
Compatibility Overview
Many premium bikes use unique saddle attachment formats. As a result, riders often cannot replace the stock saddle with one from Selle Italia, Prologo, Fizik, Specialized, or others.
Framesandgear Saddle Clip Mounts address this issue. For example, the Specialized Saddle Clip Converter 7×10 allows riders to mount standard-rail saddles on OEM Specialized seatposts. Additionally, other models support conversions on a range of aero seatposts, endurance frames, and high-end road bikes.
These converters fit:
- Standard 7×10 round rails
- Oversized 7×9 carbon rails (depending on model)
- Most road and gravel saddles from leading aftermarket brands
Furthermore, the range continues to expand as new proprietary seatpost designs enter the market.
How Saddle Clip Mounts Work
These mounts convert the seatpost’s clamp interface. Therefore, the Framesandgear mount replaces or complements the original cradle so the seatpost can grip a universal saddle rail.
The system works in three steps:
- The lower cradle matches the seatpost’s proprietary shape.
- The upper clamp area matches the geometry of standard saddle rails.
- The final assembled system replicates the factory angle while supporting the new saddle.
Additionally, the conversion does not require modifications to the bike or rails.
Installation Guide
1. Remove the Original Saddle Interface
Loosen and remove the factory saddle clamp. Additionally, inspect the seatpost head for wear or dirt.
2. Position the Framesandgear Converter
Place the converter into the seatpost cradle. Then, the new interface aligns correctly with the saddle rails.
3. Install the Saddle Rails
Slide the saddle into place and confirm the rail seating. Moreover, ensure both sides sit evenly in the converter.
4. Tighten the Hardware
Use the existing bolts. Additionally, tighten gradually and check the angle before final torque (use manufacturer's recommendations).
5. Final Adjustment
Confirm the saddle tilt and setback. As a result, the bike maintains proper fit.
