I'm researching the market/need for a seat post lock ring. Basically it would sit above the seat post clamp to keep carbon seat posts from slipping back into the frame. It would be extremely light (approx. 8 grams), but would serve the purpose as needed. They might also be convenient for people who have to remove their seat post for travel purposes. It would be an easy way to 'set' the height of your seat.
I realize that there are pastes and such out there now, but my question is do you think there's a market for this type of clamp solution?
It would be available in 27.2 and 31.6mm sizes.
Your thoughts?
