Need HELP with Velo-Orange Grand Cru Seatpost
I recently bought this wonderful seatpost but it came without instructions. Everytime I adjust it to my measurements and ride for a bit, it shifts. I am sure I am not adjusting it correctly since it should not be moving.
Should I set it at the right measurement, take out the bolts and start from scratch? Any help is appreciated! This is frustrating.
Which bolt should I adjust first?
Thanks.

What's moving? The post's height, the saddle front to back or the saddle tilt? More info on the problem is needed.

This is a two-bolt clamp design and you must tighten the two clamping bolts evenly to hold the saddle angle. As you loosen one you tighten the other to lock in the adjustment. If the saddle is tilting to far forward, loosen the front bolt slightly and tighten the rear bolt.
