Saddle Issue

lockstock666

No matter how much torque I apply to my saddle bolt/nut combo the saddle slowly travels backwards when riding and finds a resting point that is outside of the acceptable range markings on the bars underneath.

Like I said I have applied superman :roll: levels of torque to that little bolt.

I have even tried using an epoxy adhesive (a strong one that is used inside tanks) the damned thing still slid backwards.

The LBS tried too.

Any ideas apart from stay standing up?

well i was going say clean and grease all the loaded bolt parts in case something was digging in or the bolt was binding, but as its been look at by 2 people

is there a shoulder on the bolt so you run out of thread??

otherwise - cheapest i seen from a quick google

cut a bit of inner tube up put it between the clamp an saddle rails?

I was thinking about using some heatshrink.

So similar to the inner tube idea, luckily I can get some from work. Will let you know how it goes.

Cheers.
