Apologies if this has been covered, but a search didn't find anything. The seatpost clamp bolt on my older Scott Foil 20 frame is recessing further & further into the top tube each time I make an adjustment and retighten it. It still holds the post in place, but I'm afraid it's going to fail at some point. Is this a known issue, and is there a fix for it?

I've attached a picture.

I don´t have this issue on my foil but Scott gave me a new seatpost with a rough surface to keep it in place because it would sink before getting the new post which solved my issue.

I got really good customer service from Scott so my advice is contact them directly. They will know what to do if this is a common ocurrence.
