Hello
I have a carbon frame with a reverb seat post. I have used carbon grip paste, after cleaning both post and frame fully.
I cannot get post to stay in place, if I tighten the collar to much it stops the dropper rising and retracting.
I'm sure this has been an issue before
Also what's the recommended torque for tightening reverb seatpost ?

Any other ideas please
Thanks

For 6 quid it'd be worth trying one of these.

Had seapost slippage and people mentioned a Thomson clamp. Apparently they create more gripping force with less torque. Not really sure how. In the end I tightened my clamp bolt more than I felt really happy with.
