Abstract
A seat post head assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a housing coupled to a seat post, the housing including a cylindrical bore, and a first and second threaded chamber. A rotatable core is inserted into and rotates within the cylindrical bore, the rotatable core including a seat rail clamp assembly to fixedly clamp a set of seat rails and provide independent adjustment of a fore-aft location of the seat without affecting a pitch of the seat. The assembly additionally includes a first threaded member that threads into the first threaded chamber, contacts the rotatable core, and adjusts the pitch of the seat without affecting the fore-aft location of the seat. The assembly also includes a second threaded member that threads into the second threaded chamber, contacts a different portion of the rotatable core, and provides a physical hard stop against a change in the pitch.
