More precisely, I initially put 7 Nm (top mark on the seatpost) and went down to 5 Nm after rising the saddle (bottom mark), but both ended up marking the seatpost.
I've spent two hours crawling the web and I've seen lots of opinions on the Look wedge clamp - ergopost issue, some saying they ruined their seatpost, others claiming no problem.
I could'nt yet find an official torque recommendation. The Look Ergopost 2 manual only refers to the saddle clamp torque (15 Nm). They don't say anything about an incompatibility with the wedge clamp. The frame (Look Kx) is too old to find the info on Look's website. I'll see if Look answers to my email.
