Advise on what seat clamp I should use on carbon to carbon.

Manny Mano

Please can somebody advise me on the best seat post clamp to use on carbon post to carbon frame? Its a road bike and the seat post is 31.8mm. Also any tips on how to avoid damaging the carbon would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason.

Avoid damage....use a torque wrench looking at about 7nm carbon to carbon, and use carbon paste to give more grip between surfaces at a lighter torque and to stop it jamming in.

Thanks for that. Think I'll invest in a torque wrench to... Much cheaper than replacing carbon if I take a guess and over do it. Sorted the paste.

Has inner sleeve to even out clamping forces

That looks a good piece of kit and not a bad price. One of them it is then, cheers Coach.
