Had the same problem - used a bit of 4 thou shim steel to get a super tight fit and it holds fine. Coke can shim would probably do the job too.
I don’t think the problem is anything to do with the max tube, more likely a seat lug that is either very thick or inflexible, at least this was the case on my frame (EL-OS tube).

A question for someone with Max experience:
I have a Max frame with max seat lug and set tube. Tube is round and within 27,2 mm spec inner. No damage to the seat lug ears or the binding bolt. I can, however, not get my seat post to stop slipping. I’ve tried multiple posts, binding bolts, carbon paste and all the usual suspects. With the seat post removed I can barely tighten the bolt enough to reduce the gap between the ears. It is like the lug itself is to stiff. I’ve never had this problem on any other steel frame, but again never had a max frame.
Anyone has any idea what’s going on!?
