I've managed to destroy the thread of my USE seatpost clamp. Not sure how I managed to be so hamfisted whilst using a torque wrench. Does anyone have one in a spares box before I pay £28 for a replacement?

This style.

I had the same fate. I ended up buying new....

Top tip! Thanks. It seems a bit wasteful to buy a whole new seatpost just for the clamp but maybe that's the best bet if I can't find a secondhand clamp.

Same conundrum that I had! But there's a reason there's no used USE sumo clamps....a common fate.

Yeah it's a pretty bad design really. Had to slather it in carbon paste to stop it slipping as well. Not sure I'd buy it again but I got a swanky (but factory second) Ti version for peanuts in their outlet store.

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

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