Perhaps you need to contact Cannondale and ask them if they can get you a seatpost with a different clamp design. Or, can you have one made? Does anyone make carbon seatposts?

Maybe these guys, or similar?

Hmm.
Gosh, I honestly have no idea on that. I was just on Cannondale's site and it appears that ALL Carbon Synapse bikes have the same seatpost (teardrop-shaped) that is on mine. The 2 non-carbon Synapse models, have a different seatpost (round). I also checked out the SuperSix and Six models, and all of those have round seatposts as well. The Slice (TT bike), uses an aero seatpost...but the design is altogether different from the one that is used on the Synapse.

I wonder why Cannondale decided to use an aero seatpost design on a plush-geometry bike? Kind of doesn't make much sense to me. I mean, the rest of the bike isn't really "aero", so why not just use a normal round seatpost? Maybe I need to go work for Cannondale so I could give them my input.
