Here is a little tidbit that people miss on their rivs regarding a slipping seatpost. When they produce the frames, the Seat lug has a tab that connects the slot in the lug together and keeps it from deforming when the frame is brazed up. In the finish work before paint, they go through and r

Thanks for this Mark. I've had issues with the Nitto S-83 slipping in my Sam. I removed it, cleaned all the grease off it and the seat tube and used denatured alcohol to clean any frame saver from the top portion of the seat tube. Then I applies a thin layer of anti-seize to the post. No sl

I would like to add not to use the carbon paste stuff if you don't need it. It scratched the heck out of one of my seatposts and made it more difficult to remove. Its also hard to clean the grit back out. I've never had a seatpost slipping problem but I weigh 140lbs. -Dave On Tuesday, January

This hits me as a rather unorthodox solution to a common problem. Your post is probably slipping because it's slightly undersized. I have had good luck using carbon fiber assembly paste in such situations (also for slipping stems). --Metin On Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at 12:44:33 PM UTC-8, Mar

Great solution. It's especially nice of you to provide a really thorough description and a great self-describing title. I can imagine years from now, somebody searching this forum, will find that post, read it, and will have a frustrating problem solved. That person will hopefully thank you.
