WHy would you want to change? I assume you mean the seat post clamp, the thing around the frame and post? Far better than the'older' non QR versions.
Regardless tho' you can still get seat post clamps in a variety of sizes, is it not listed in the manual?0 -
I commute to and from Manchester, Quite a few people have had there seat and post stolen, As I have no where to put my seat and post I want to get rid of the QR for a little added protection.
My Manual doesnt give anything in English lolOn a Mission to lose 20 stone..Get My Life Back

Just go to an LBS in your area and find out about anti-theft skewers which feature a distinctive oddly-shaped allen style key. Not particularly expensive as a set, I put some on my partner's bike to replace the QR skewers on wheels and seatpost. Saves her having to lock everything with a long cable and D-lock along with the kids trailer.
Not put any on my machine though... no chance!Don't get too close as a broken tail light often offends...0 -

Ahh, In that case then fair enough! Hope do some nice blingy ones, although you may well be better off going into your LBS or Halfords and just seeing if they have any that fit.0 -
Just get a nut, bolt and 2 washers to replace the qr bolt and cam.
Much cheapness and the less blingy the better if it's getting left unattended in a known tea leaf hot spot.
I'd recommend these for your wheels also:
