I have had this with other saddles/hardware, it usually works fine once tightening everything down.
In your case with alloy rails you could just slightly bend it

I don’t think bending things is the solution when talking about 330€ seatpost and 160€ saddle. That’s not right.eucalyptus wrote:I have had this with other saddles/hardware, it usually works fine once tightening everything down.

Is the problem the saddle rails or the seat post cradle ?LMCuba wrote:Anyone had this problem? Awaiting response from Darimo but couldn't hurt to ask here. Saddle is SLR Boost Ti316.
I'm not sure and sadly I don't have another saddle or seatpost to test at the moment. A screw on my current seatpost is a little stuck and I'm afraid I can't tighten it back all the way if I take the saddle off.C36 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 11:11 amIs the problem the saddle rails or the seat post cradle ?LMCuba wrote:Anyone had this problem?

I have 3 pieces like those a and all have the same measurement.
I looked at 4 saddles and one is somehow 2.6mm wider, never realised it and never been a problem once installed.
Edit: looking back at the picture it’s not clear what the problem is. It looks like the rail could perfectly fit in this cradle.
Thank you! I shall wait for their reply, but it's nice to know there might be a relatively easy solution.
You don't need another saddle. Just measure the diameter of the one you haveLMCuba wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 6:02 pmI'm not sure and sadly I don't have another saddle or seatpost to test at the moment.

For your last sentence, do you mean could or couldn't?
Thank you. That's reassuring to know. I might try that if Darimo can't offer anything useful.BigBoyND wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:27 amYou don't need another saddle.

Carbon is flexible to a point. My Venge clamp and Selle Italia carbon rail shapes also don't match up perfectly but tighten up just fine.
What pressure are you running the 28mm? That will provide way more comfort than any seatpost.Greny wrote:Anyone here tried there seatpost for a Pinarello? I send them an email (5 days ago) , no answer yet. Do their seatpost have a bit compliance, that's what I'm looking for. To make the bike less harsh. I ride alrdy with latex tubes and 28 gp5000.

Now to answer your question (sort of) I had 2 bikes with Darimo seatpost, a Supersix evo2 and a sl6 (so with an aero profile) and each time the seatpost had a surprisingly lot more comfort than the stock one.
