Ah, yes it was the discussion about the 97 earlier. I added it to my to-buy list as a way to avoid fucking up my saddle height adjustment again. Might buy one now.

85 alone wasn’t enough. I had to add the 97 too to stop the seatpost slipping.
Do 3T posts measure true to size, Thomson is not the 27.2 claimed but actually 27.1.

Isn't it just to reduce chance of slippage? You don't want to be clamping directly to the seatpost with too much force.
