Hi,
Slipping carbon post.I have put carbon paste on but just wondered an idea of torque rating? Syntace post on Anthem X 29 if that's a help.
Thanx,
Max
This should get you started:

btw: probably less tight than you think if you've got the "sand in the vaseline" paste stuff in there.
5.5nm on the fancy Giant road clamps but they are 2x4mm bolts.
Not 100% on the Anthem. Isn't it etched onto the clamp?
Drop me an email and I'll find out on Friday for you.

Hi,
Thanks for that! I must stress I having been using carbon paste and still slipping! Didn't want to go too tight!
Probably slipping due to removing post for maintenance from time to time.
Thanx,

Hi,
Current clamp is a Thomson but that says 2.5 NM.Tried that and still moves.My old Fizik post had a figure of 6NM,not sure if that's too high.When it has slipped have used hand pressure which is probably more than 6NM?
Thanx,
Max
6nm sounds about right for a single clamp.
Will check tomorrow for sure.

Mine says 6nm, it was slipping new post in new frame, used the finish line stuff and bingo problem solved.
6nm on mine too
