YES... that is exactly what my seatpost clamp looks like. It has grippy grooves/notches in the clamps that resemble that of a plastic zip tie. I think when I go to torq down the tension, the nothes (if lined up on top of each other wrong, aka male to male pieces, vs female to male) slip... unleveling the saddle from where I had it originally.

My OCR1 is an aluminum frame, with carbon being only in the forks and seat post. When I got the bike as a new rider, it was plenty for my skills. Now, I want to upgrade to all carbon to smooth out the ride from the aluminum frame chatter. The carbon in the forks and seat post are suppose to be something in the current design that helps to smooth that out.

Hmm, obviously there are other seat post that might do it, but I wonder if some modification to what I have would do it...

OK, in reality, I'm assuming in this would not be "secure" on a ride, but I'm thinking about filling up the grooves in the clamp with tape, maybe a smooth rubber shim, *something* for a test. All I have on hand now is tape. Things like seat post rack clamps, handle bar light clamps, etc. come with rubber shims. That's sorta what my brain was thinking. Sure a shop could find me a carbon post without the groove issue (for a price, dunno what though).
