My seatpost (31.6mm) keeps slipping. I am using a Hope clamp (35mm) and grease (carbon with particles) and my post still slips.
I cleaned the post with isopropanol, cleaned the seat tube with isopropanol. Applied a small amount of regular (white) grease on the inside of the clamp, alligned with the slits in the back of the frame (seat tube). Added a drop of loctite to the clamp-bolt. Greased the post generously with (carbon) grease, torqued the clamp to spec and... this mofo still keeps slipping.
Any ideas on a sturdier/better clamp? Maybe using (even) better grease?
