Using a cheap QR seatpost clamp (~£7) ATM, but if I do it up tight enough the plastic shim thingy gets knackered quickly.
Which QR clamps last a long time when fastened tightly? I don't want to have to buy another for a few years if that's achievable...
Salsa
+1 for Salsa
+2 for Salsa
It's been said, so I won't say it again. Though I don't think the new ones are as good as the original version, they look forged instead of machined.
i've a 30mm silver salsa for sale... £10 
tamarvin@googlemail.com if interested!
Hope all the way
Salsa here too.
I've been trying to source a size 35.0 QR in red for a while and they're apparently rarer than gold dust. So if anyone has one they don't need...
Personally -
Hope - Rubbish, it snapped
Salsa - OK, but didn't clamp tight enough
Woodman - Runnish, plastic shim deforms
Planet X - Rubbish, as above
On-One CNC - Good, works fine and clamps well, but the brass washer is too small and deforms
OE Specialized, Trek, Yeti, Saracen, whatever - The best by far. They just work. Specialized ones in particular close with light pressure, never, ever slip, nothing to go wrong, very simple.
Chromag, if you can stomach £30 for a clamp 
I've had 2 old-style Hopes for years... But they never quiet get tight enough... then I bought an Orange Crush frame and the clamp that came with that is spot-on. Maybe it's just me... 
Ok... so Salsa or OE Spesh it is! I have to say that £20 for a seatpost clamp seems a bit steep, but if I have to pay £20 for one that works like it's supposed to then so be it...
