today i was torquing my carbon-ti seatpost clamp on at 4nm with park torque wrench and then is SNAPPED! i had some M5x16 tapered cone Ti screw, but the cone diameter i have is 8mm whereas the original one from the Carbon-Ti clamp is 7.8mm. anyone know where i can get a replacement Ti with 7.8mm tapered cone?

This might sound crazy but if you clamp it in a drill and sand the head down a tenth of a mm you'll be at 7.8.

Also now in China there are 6gr clamps for like 5usd.
