Hi,
had the same problem. I used some carbon assembly paste around and also on the installed grip tape on the seatpost.
Used 6.5Nm and voila, no issues anymore.

Thanks, that did the trick! I found I needed to apply the assembly paste inside the seat tube. When I tried to put it on the post, it was mostly scraped off when trying to slide it in.

What kind of grip tape did you use?

Hi!

Here's another build. Put it together last autumn and didn't have any major issues, apart from Velobuild never sending me a replacement for the incorrectly painted bottle mount even though they promised they would...
Build was relatively easy, after I gave up trying to make Juin Tech F1 brakes work and switched to Riderever Triva ones.

It's my first tri-bike, so I have nothing to compare it to. Fun to ride, and certainly fast enough to make me the bottleneck, not the bike


However, the seat post has recently started slipping when under load during a ride. I first noticed it after going over an extended patch of grooved asphalt - pure washboard. I wonder if that might have damaged something, but I can't see any signs of that.

What's the maximum torque for the seatpost wedge? Are there any good tricks to secure the seat post better?

Thanks,
Markus
