i've got a merlin ti frame. i had a ti seatpost which gave me this problem, recently upgraded to a carbon post, same issue. the sliding into the seat tube motion has also scratched away the top coating of clearcoat?/enamel? off the post, i've tightened it fairly well, but i fear if i go any further i may crack the post. also... i'm not super overweight, 170lb, so i don't see my bodyweight really being an issue...
is there some sort of adhesive i can use that won't effect the post or the frame?
thanks in advance for any input.
- Tacx carbon paste
- FSA Installation Compound
- Ritchey Liquid Torque
or
- Ghetto version: get something syrup-like (Gatorade) and put on seatpost
