I also snapped the seat binder bolt on my new Platypus. No amount of tightening would keep my post from sliding. I posted about this on Reddit and somebody told me that I needed to grease the threads. When I tried to remove the bolt it snapped. I replaced with a random bolt from a hardware

I own a 50cm Platypus and I wish I had sized up and gotten the 55 cm because it could fit 700c bicycle tires (where the 50cm can only do 650b). Something to think about if you might end up using your Clem for more gravel. On Monday, February 26, 2024 at 3:21:33 PM UTC-8 Mackenzy Albright
