Calling P3C owners!

a) I'm having trouble with the seatpost slipping. With assembly paste and a torque wrench, it needs 6.5Nm whereas 4Nm is specified. And that's just on the turbo, no pedalling.

It's a brand new frame: does the post or tube need roughening-up?

b) Using a TriRig Omega X with a no-hanger backplate. I have a Tektro steerer mounted hanger, but that needs a 10mm spacer under it to clear the nose on a 54cm frame.

What are you using? Does anyone know of hangers with more forward extension (the Tektro has 38mm)?

TIA

My P3C seatpost has been fine so far, even though it looks like the previous owner has overtightened at some point.
How heavy are you?

Looks like most of the clamping forces are on the frontal section of the seatpost, so you could add something like some helicopter tape to that area.

It's not mine and she's pretty lean.

You mean to increase the size of the post for a snugger fit?

That might work, but then there's a chance the tape could slip.
