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.
Same seatpost as before, so should be ok. Clamped fine with the old one.
Turned hope around, does seem better, can't move it now at 8nm. Might go to 10 to be safe...
Alu bolts, so do thread (pun intended) carefully.
