Campaign C-Record saddle clamp

[bigfatron]

I've been having an issue with my saddle, finding that the seat clamp is shifting and my saddle is pointing its nose to the sky.
Does anyone have a solution (short of buying a nos seat pin and clamp).
I'm wondering if there's an alloy version of carbon paste that I might use?
It's a problem, all my bikes have old C-Record single bolt seatpins

Can you fully tighten the bolt ? or does it spin ? Striped threads!

How long have you had the post ?

Do any of the parts look miss-matched ?

Re:

About 4 years, but all the seatpins are used.
None o f the clamps or posts are mismatched, there must be a solution

Oh, and no stripped threads either

Get a Dremel type tool.

Mark out lines with a fine marker pen on the inside of the top & bottom clamping area.

Fit a fine carbon cutting disc to the multi-tool.

Cut in fine equal grooves along the marked lines.

The grooves will clamp on each other resulting in the clamp not shifting.


I've done this on a few posts and works.
