Hi,

It's time to replace my ageing seat post. I've been considering Carbon but I use a quick release. I know most Carbon parts require very careful tightening with torque wrenches. Does the same apply to seat posts? (I'd imagine it does).

Just wanted to know what other people did with their carbon seat posts and quick releases?

Cheers,

T1b

    not an issue.

    but read the seat post specs to check.

    a tightening torque on a seat clamp bolt would not give a consistent figure on a seatpost. too many variables.
