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.
