anyone have problems with seat post slipping over the course of a ride? Even at 8nm torque my seatpost still slips, and i've tried different clamps as well. Have also tried with and without friction paste. i'm fairly large at 245lbs and 6'7 so i'm putting a lot of leverage on the dropper

ordered one of these to hopefully remedy the issue, but wondering if anyone else has any magic fixes

Gorgeous frame and fork, but pretty lukewarm on the rest of it. Seat sucks, don't love the purple (pink?) accents, and either the cranks or the pedals should be a different colour to offset one another. Don't get me wrong though, would ride all day long...

What frame and what post? I’m 6’7” and 275lbs and ran a chromag clamp on a rootdown with a one up, only occasional slip but very rare

Torque wrenches are like fake news. Just tighten shit till is works.

Or in the case of droppers, don’t.

I have a bike that had a chronic seat tube slippage problem , tried many ways of shimming it with no luck , finally cleaned inside if seat tube thoroughly with pipe brush on drill then fluxed the inside of seat tube , heated seat tube with a torch and ran solder all around the inside of post then flex honed it till the post fit snug , that was at least 6 years ago and works till this day , of course it will ruin your paint . only recommend this on a steel bike.

Try a different seat post if you have one laying around or on a different bike. Figure out if its the frame or the post that's the issue.

If nothing else works use some carbon prep and then add some dirt and sand, maybe concrete dust ..

try clear coating your seatpost to increase its diameter justva bit. and everything sterling said about torque wrenches is correct.

sick curtis btw, you're a lucky guy to get hold of the discontinued all silver intend forks.

Word is Thomson clamp works well with droppers too.

Due to the fact you own a Knolly, I can't take your opinion seriously
