I cant get my seat post to stay put. It doesnt twist but does fall down.

Its a C456 with a FRM ST-M10 Ti Seatpost. Hope seat clamp.
Is this common or do I need carbon paste or copper slip?

I had terrible slippy post on mine and cured it by changing seatclamp.

I used carbon assembly paste on a carbon post in my 456 and it stopped it slipping.

I use the Finish Line assembly grease (Fibre Grip?) on mine - cured slipping problems on a KS i950. I use a Superstar seatclamp @4Nm - yes, I am sad enough to measure this!
