Campagnolo seatpost head slipping
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:46 pm
I have a Campagnolo Record carbon seatpost that I am having problems with the head from slipping.
This is the model with a single bolt, and the carbon top cap, I believe the final model before discontinuing production. It was used with a Fizik Aliante carbon braided saddle, torqued to 5-6 Nm. It works fine on smooth roads, but if I hit rough roads, potholes or railway tracks, the head slips. Hopefully it's not due to my weight, as I weigh 68 kg.
Any suggestions on how I can prevent this slippage without increasing the torque and risking cracking the carbon rails on the saddle? Has anyone tried carbon paste? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
