SuperSix Evo.
Mmm not sure about that. The carbon seat post was dented from over-tightening at the clamp, so I thought this lump might be from the same, pinching the carbon together at the gap in the seat post collar. Speaking with the seller about it. I'll need a replacement seat post at least.
I saw some photos where they had two seat post collars on it - one above the main one, on the actual post, to stop it slipping down. Not good for the seat post, and shouldn't be needed either if they had used carbon paste, which I don't think they did.
Doesn't really fill me with confidence knowing their team mechanic didn't know what he was doing. Might return and just buy a new SuperSix on sale. Still a few floating about online.

Quick q: Is this normal on a carbon frame? Or should I be concerned about damage / weakening of the clamping area?
