Any suggestions as to how to avoid this? Roughen up the mating surfaces with a bit of sandpaper? Get a longer Allen wrench and torque the bolt more? Something else?
I had the same problem with titanium seat rails and carbon seat clamp on the post. I used loctite blue on the rail and clamp.....it worked.
