Legit question, although some of the guys I ride with (road bikes) adjust their seats quite often without issues. Also, struggle a bit to think it was designed for only limited adjusting.
First one that wore I had adjusted maybe 6 times (new bike/seat and fore/aft tuning). Second, same bike, maybe 3 times for another new seat/adjustment. Even checked my torque wrench against another torque wrench to make sure wasn't over-tightening. Thinking maybe greasing the bolt might help. Regardless, being it's Giant's D-Fuse post design, not many options on alternate seat posts.
Thanks for your response.
