My seatpost won't stay put
I just puchased a thudbuster seat post for my Mountain Cycle-Rumble. Love the the seatpost but I can't seem to get it to stay put. The seat post is the correct size for the frame. After a few miles it seems to work it's way down about an inch or so. I've replaced my seat post clamp with a proper sized specialized quick realease, which seems to be clamping around the seatpost with plenty of pressure, but it still telescopes down when ridden. I'm beginning to get a little frustrated. The old carbon fiber seatpost with a shim never slipped on me so I am confused to why the new seat post simply won't stay put.
Thanks for any suggestions and you will receive much karma if yours solves my problem! Last edited by Buzzard555 : 13-01.-2006 at 09:41 AM. |

Re: Need advice on keeping seatpost to stay put
The usual fixes for this problem are:
1) remove excess grease from the seat post and seat tube. 2) tighten quick release seat post clamp, or replace with a bolt type clamp. 3) add a thin shim around the seat post, such as a piece cut from an aluminum can. |
