If it’s on your awol I’m sure I remember having to over tight them all the time. This will sound daft, but although the slot in the seat tube is at the back try putting the clamp with the bolt at the front. It’s how spesh got round the dropping post on the Sequoia.

Am I unlucky, or are Hope seat clamps terrible?
Hope clamps are objectively shit, but if the gap in the hoop isn't closed then the problem might really be in the relationship between the seat post diameter and the size of the hole you're putting it in.

Am I unlucky, or are Hope seat clamps terrible? I ordered one to replace the stock clamp that broke. 30.04mm (ish) post per callipers, ordered 30mm hope. Fits nicely, but at the 8nm I can rotate the post by hand...
If I cinch up to about 11nm and use carbon assembly paste it seems to stay in place...
Any recommendations on a good seat post clamp in 30, don't really trust this one.
