Hey do any Capra owners know which way round the seat clamp should be placed, when my bike arrived the clamp was fitted facing the front of the bike which is the opposite side to the seat tube "cut out" if that makes sense - I had always thought the seat clamp and "cut out" should be on the same side? Hope anyone can help.

Cheers

Some manufacturers recommend using the 'opposite' configuration with carbon seatposts to reduce the risk of the strain relief caving in into the post. ( e.g.:

)

For aluminium/titanium posts it shouldn't matter.

Mine is facing that way.
Haven't needed to touch it funnily enough - came at exactly the right height!
