I just bought this used Thomson Elite seatpost cheaply, but I noticed a horizontal scratch/gouge, about 15mm long, prominent under a fingernail. Could this present a problem in the future and instigate a crack or a failure at that point? I planned on using it in a frame where the seatpost collar would be directly over the scratch, clamping on that area. I could also probably put it to use on another frame, where the clamp would be well below the scratch. Not sure whether it would make any difference. The scratch placed at the front of the seatpost and slightly to the right, if that even matters, considering it is a inline seatpost, where all the difference is the logo orientation. Cheers all.
