I have an even cheeper solution to a new QR clamp 😛
A non QR clamp!
its amazing how much more riding you get in when there’s no oppertunity to faff!
Only section i miss it on is a set of steps with 2 90deg bends, cant get the weight off the front wheel enough to let it turn the corner. For £200+ a new frame (current one is 26.8mm) I’ll just dissmount/straightline that section.
That and even DH riders ride with saddles higher than some people at trail centers!
If it was comparable in weight an reliability to a normal post i’d considder it, but i like my current settup. I had a saddle with a loose rail once, drove me nuts, god knows how id cope with a sloppy seatpost!
