Seatpost suggestions.....again
      02/21/06 02:17 PM (70.251.100.103)

I now have my third Calfee Tetra. I have always been more than pleased with with Calfee's bikes but have run into a situation that is familiar to many on this forum: slipping seatpost.

I used Campagnolo carbon posts on my previous Tetras and they worked great. Same set up on this bike and it will not stay tight. I cleaned the seatpost and inner sleeve of the frame with alcohol.....no luck.

Here are my options....I am a Campagnolo fanatic and really do not want to stray too far from the fold.

1. Campagnolo titanium seatpost: really looks odd on the all carbon bike but I don't think it will slip.

2. Toothpaste or some other "remedy" to make the Campagnolo carbon post stick.

3. Try another brand....sorry Tullio....that might fit tighter.

I know this topic has been beaten to death but there must be a tried and true remedy that will work on every Calfee. Please don't suggest a Thomson post. They make great products but their aesthetics leave a lot to be desired IMHO.

Thanks for any help!
