while on the Cannondale site, new seatpost clamping thingy

[eddief]

kinda interesting. No?

. . . that it looks like it's integrated into the frame. If anything goes wrong with it, how do you replace it? do you have to send the whole frame back to C-Dale?

It looks pretty slick. Is there a split in the forward-facing silver clamp? Also, what is the other hex bolt on the top of the seat stay? Is that part of the seat post clamp?

Integrated seat binders are nothing new. This is just a flashier version. I'm sure you can replace the hardware that is the clamp.

I only have one question: Can it open a beer?

[Climb01742]

a better clamp seems like a genuine improvement, if it works, better than a swoopier or curvier DT or ST. nice that someone is thinking about small stuff like that, rather than just cosmetic "improvements".

Seems like it could exert more force and I wonder if more force on the frame and post is really what you want. I would think more clamping surface area, so there is less force, is a better solution.

I would say by looking at it Cannondale probably engineered in the correct amount of clamping force for the post. Pretty cool.
