Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I hit a pothole. :(

I hit a pothole and rear tire blow out but the rim is ok.
And, my seat post was turn 5 degree right side and I thought I need to re tight up a clamp.
However, it wasn't teh clamp. it was seatpost where carbon meet metal part.
It is very little turning right and left side.

Can I fix it or need to buy a new one?
If I can fix, how I can repair the joint?

thank you guys.

Same thing happened to me last year. I warranteed the crappy Cannondale post and while I was waiting for it to came back, I got a Ritchey WCS post and haven't looked back.

Do yourself a favour and get a good one-piece aluminum post (Thomson, Ritchey, etc). It's not THAT much heavier than carbon, and I've noticed no difference in ride quality between the two posts I've had.

Bikes: Homebuilt steel

If warranty won't work you could glue it with JB Weld. Framebuilders commonly use it to glue carbon stays to the frame so I can't think of any reason you can't use it too.
