Charge Spoon saddle keeps coming loose

Bob Pertlewee

Hello,

I recently changed my tundra saddle on my Giant Anthem X to a Charge Spoon. However, no matter how hard I tighten the bolt, it keeps coming loose and is very annoying. Any suggestions to stop this happening?

Cheers,

Bob

Saddles don't come loose, bolts do.

Is the seat-post gripping the rails of the seat correctly as any sudden jolt will free the seat off again.

File a tiny bit of the seat rails in the clamping area off, just enough to get a rough surface to grip with, and do the same to the clamping area of the seatpost. Worked a treat for me when i was having a little bit of problems.

Its a clamp, if it done up adequately then the surface finish is irrelevant, bad advice in my opinion, the issue as has been said is the bolt loosening.

When you changed the saddle, did you have to repve the bolt(s) that hold the seatpost clamp together? If so are you 100% sure that you put them all back together in the correct order (washers, funny shaped nuts etc.)
