Seat-tube is very thin indeed, I bought the specially designed ‘decade’ quick release when I got the frame, seems there was a dodgy batch as it gripped the seatpost before the tube.
Phoned upgrade and they went and checked if their stock of the special ‘decade’qr’s would fit a 27.2 post and they found it wouldn’t, They reamed a qr to fit and sent it out for free.
The modified qr has a really narrow lip [the bit sits at top of seat-tube] so it seems that it’s not just that its a thin seat-tube that’s the problem, it’s also the issue of getting a qr that will clamp up tight enough before touching the seatpost.
