Title: Copy MX seatclamp advice needed
Post by: g_lamb on June 08, 2010, 02:29 PM: Have bought a couple of the hinged version MX copy seat clamps but they won't tighten enought to stop the seat post twisting

Any ideas? (BTW - I drive a desk for a living so needs to be a "simple" fix ;D )

Many thanks for any help you can give

cut up a plastic milk container nice a neet ;) then place a nice neet strip between frame and clamp , this should make the clamp work better ;) add move strips as neccessary :daumenhoch: Or shim the seatpost in the frame using cut up beer can :D But b careful not 2 slice your fingers on the can as it can b very sharp :P Just use a good pair of sissors 2 do these jobs :daumenhoch: simples
