Height adjustable saddle pole

A height adjustable saddle pole consisting of two tubes which are telescopically slidable into another, that is to say

• 1.1. a cladding tube for accommodating a saddle support tube
• 1.2. a spring element acting upon the saddle support tube,
• 1.3. a locking device, which is arranged on the cladding tube with
• 1.3.1. a locking pin
• 1.3.2. a guide for the locking pin
• 1.3.3. means for adjusting the locking pin in a latched position and an unlatched position, whereas the locking pin is moved orthogonally with respect to and in the direction of the axis of the saddle support tube
• 1.4. whereas at least two axially spaced apart bores are provided in the saddle support tube for accommodating the locking pin, wherein
• 1.5. the locking pin in the latched position engages into one of the bores through a recess of the cladding tube, whereas it completely absorbs the axial forces of the saddle support tube,
• 1.6. whereas the bores are located in the area of the smallest stress of the saddle support tube.
