Title: Dengfu fm098 seatpost slowly slipping even with resin tape
Post by: Nickk2000 on June 16, 2021, 10:24:18 PM

I have the new seatpost woth the resin but mt seatpost is still slowly slipping. I bought some carbon paste so im going to see if that helps but id say i need to adjust it every ride or two (4-6 hours) it foes from a 2 mark to a 3 mark. Im also heavy at 230 lbs so that could be an issue... you guys think the paste will help, anyone else having this issue currently and know of a solution?

Cut up a plastic folder and use a bit as a shim, works for me with a similar problem

Smart idea, thank you! I went on a quick 6 mile ride with the carbon paste and no issues as of yet. Knock on... carbon?

I have an old DengFu FM098 v1 that had that issue when I first got it.

A bit of carbon paste and 1-2nm more on the clamp bolt and it hasn't moved since (almost 30k miles on it now).

Have you noticed any clicking/creaking noises? When i used carbon paste they went away, about halved the noise, havent ridden it in a while but the clicking happens when im pedalling and in the saddle, no clicking when out of it, so a seatpost thing im assuming
