Having managed to bend mine in an obvious 'hulk' moment im after a new seat post clamp..

any recommendations? the one ive bent is aluminum so after something a bit more durable and 'hulk' resistant

Thanks

Do you really need a QR?

Thomson clamps are as tough as old boots.

What bit's actually bent?

The part with the thread on is usually steel.

Hmm, to be fair dont really need a QR as i generally set up my bike before i go ride.... will look at the thomsons.

The arm that closes is bent, not the thread

Not worth spending more.

I've had problems cheap or light-weight clamps letting me down, literally, which is why Thomson is my clamp of choice these days.

I found that some are just too flimsy to get tight enough and the seat post slips down, but that may be a combination of frame and seat post not helping.

I had a problem with my seatpost moving down. Try roughing up the post where it clamps with some wet and dry.

Yeah mine was moving down earlier.. seat post tube fairly rough textured already.

Does anyone know what size clamp i would need for a Rockrider 8.1 ive taken the existing QR clamp off and measured the downtube.. it measures about 35mm and the clamp measures internally 36mm when slack

34.9/35 then.
