Is there a torque limit on an aluminum seatpost, or just snug it up until it doesn't move anymore when you twist it to test it for movement?
Carbon makes me nervous, what with all the controversy. I am glad to have aluminum replacing it. One less thing to worry about failing on the bike.
Replace the tightening bolt also since was intended for use with the carbon post and may not be strong enough to really wrench on.
