Seat Post Paint Cracking
Hi Guys,
I thought I'd nip this one in the bud... The paint around the rim of the seatpost hole on my Giant Defy has a slight chip in it. I've not used excessive force to tighten the clamp, and was wondering what else could cause this and where I should start with curing it. I've heard nail polish, auto paint, but don't know which would be best.
Thanks
Ben

This would be great advice for someone who wasn't worried, but then again would someone who wasn't worried ask for a solution?

I had a similar problem. It turned out my seat post clamp had a little "spur" on it that dug into the paint. I sanded the spur off and touched up the paint. It's been a year with no problems.
