the only time I noticed the post sliding down was when I leaned back and put my full weight on the seat, this really doesn’t happen when I’m riding on the road or trail.
Man, that’s a dog. I really think that clamp design is weird, with the pinch bolt sitting above the clamp zone.
Rather than rationalize living with it— it’s definitely going to slip riding outside— I’d recommend contacting Jamis, or directly through your LBS if possible, and see if they can offer any solution. It may even be a known issue they’re rectifying...who knows.
