if you don't tighten the **** out of the single-bolt assembly.
I helped someone with that out on the road just the other week.
Not a great design, but it is light.
Thanks for the explanation - I don't have a Roubaix. Still not certain how the bolt is rated over 10 N-m and they tell you to torque it to 6.2 N-m.
I rode for so long with a Campy Nuovo Record seatpost and a Brooks Professional saddle, so everything these days seems light to me.
