[#2624926]

My new seat post clamps by inserting the saddle rails into two parallel gullies, and then clamping to aluminium plates (also with gullies) against the outside of the rails.

Today I came down rather heavily on my saddle and the two gullies seem to have become misaligned by a few degrees, causing rails to no longer sit flush in both gullies ๐Ÿ™

I bought the post from Actionsports in Germany, and was wondering;

A) if anyone had experience this before, I can't seem to get them to realign, any tips?

B) who should I approach, the seller, the manufacturer or the UK distributor / service centre - or is it something a LBS could sort out?

Anyway, all advice much appreciated.

same as a joplin and bonty seat post by the looks. Loosen off the bolt and line it up, do up again.

It's strange, but before I sat heavily on the saddle, when both saddle rails are clamped in, but with the bolt loosened off I could adjust the tilt. But now it seems to be jammed - I could not get either side to move at all. I'll give it another go tomorrow - maybe it needs a bit of encouragement from a hammer!
