Subject: [CR] Early Campy SR post slipping


Did another 35K today on the Zunow. As befits a Zunow, it has a mix of Japanese and Italian parts, including a early Campy SR seatpost, one bolt but with exposed hex head bolt. Both yesterday and today the post slipped during the ride, such that nose of the saddle tilted up a bit more at the end. This happened today even though I thought I had tightened the bolt pretty darn tight after yesterday's ride. Is this a common problem with these early Campy SR posts? Anyone know the fix?
