Step 15 "Install the saddle and tighten the seat post clamp bolts to 8–10 Nm"

I use Ryet saddles and no issue yet with 10nm.

Yes, I'm familiar with Lightcarbon's instructions. The 5 Nm is the torque specified by Ryet for that specific saddle with carbon struts.

Just finished my first build and my first ride of 85 km.

Frame: Lightcarbon LCR018-D 56 cm
Groupset: Shimano 105 Di2 52/36 11-36T 165mm
Wheel set: Elitewheels Edge 3.0 52mm
Saddle: Ryet 3D Carbon
Seat Post with zero setback

8,1 kg (with with pedals, computer mount, bottle cage, handlebar tape)


Unfortunately, the saddle is still causing problems. The seatpost stays in place after I greased the sliding surfaces of the clamp and the bolt, but the saddle tilts under load.
I’ve already tightened the clamp quite firmly, but I was careful because of the carbon struts (recommended torque: max. 5 Nm). Even so, the saddle tipped over when I hit a pothole. I haven’t used carbon paste yet.
What would you recommend I do next?
  • Tighten the bolts even more? (Unfortunately, a torque wrench won’t fit due to the design.)
  • Try carbon paste?
Do you have any tips?
