Can I glue the head onto a carbon seat post?

Hi guys, I have a PMP carbon seat post and the head has become loose from the post. It's still attached but occasionally swivels under pressure. Would I be able to just pop some glue in to get this attached properly?

No. Throw it in the bin.
Buy a new one/borrow steal one.
Yours is broken and you'd be a fool to ride it knowing this.

Those PMP posts are really nice. I don't know how they are constructed and I've only had a Ti version which looked to me like the head was bonded into the shaft, Personally I wouldn't ride it as it is at the moment is case of complete failure. But I would try contacting PMP to see if it can be repaired by them? Worth an email in my mind.

I've dropped them an email but unsurprisingly not heard anything back!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
