Adjusting Giant D fuse seat post/ loosening clamp
Does anyone know the correct way to loosen the clamp that holds the giant D fuse seat post in place?
When I got the bike the mechanics in the shop said you need to rock/ twist the seat post left and right. This works and I've heard other people say that what they do but it makes a loud cracking sound and it makes me feel uneasy because it's a carbon frame. I've seen people in forums say they loosen the bolt of the clamp and give it a light tap with a mallet or strike the back of the saddle with an open palm to loosen loosen the clamp.
Whatever the correct technique the design seems to require some persuasion as loosening the bolt and wiggling the post free with one hand doesn't work with this design, even when the bike was brand new. Interested to hear what other Giant owners do to loosen their seat post clamp.

Loosen the bolt then tap on the saddle rails up the way with a rubber mallet.0
