Loose saddle angle adjustment
Alright...this damn bolt will not stay in place.
I've snapped the bolt twice now after it's come loose in the middle of rides.
Tried lock washers, stop nuts, teflon tape, and loctite. A combination of these held pretty solid for about two weeks, but it just got loose again yesterday while riding.
Any ideas short of a new/better seat post?

take it all apart, chances are, the teeth holding the angle are completely squished and no good.
