Favorite seat clamps?

Looking for feedback on seat post collars...

I've used Campy, Salsa, OEM, others. Not looking for the lightest, I want something durable and well designed...

Going on a couple of new (to me) Ti road frames.

Thinking of Campy or Thomson. Anyone a fan of the Woodman DeathGrip or the Wolf Tooth? Maybe Phil Wood or the No 22 (although it's 2-3X the cost of all the others).

Thanks!

Campy seems no longer made, Wolf Tooth is excellent, Salsa works great, ditto Bingham, Thomson is fine. That’s all I gots.

The PW one works well but is a bit big visually. All these years later I think the Thomson is still probably the sleekest, followed by the Woodman. Which I also like because its a bit esoteric.

I've used Thomson without issue on a mountain bike.

I have a DKG clamp on two bikes and really like the sleek aesthetics. Very Salsa inspired. Stout M6 bolt.

Another vote for Wolf Tooth here, I have them on a few bikes and they've been foolproof.

I also think that they look slick, they have an unusual shape, but I think they work very nicely. Depends if you want that look or not, I guess.

I think the DKG were the de facto "standard" on Seven and Indy Fabs for years. Very secure in a slim and subtle design. I've had a bunch. Phil also makes a rather nice clamp - reminds me of an old BMX style - slightly squared-off (HERE).

The Wolftooth has colors, is a little chunkier and noticeable. I like the larger contact area (along with the Tune clamp for WW bikes) on carbon frames.

I don't buy them often, but the last one I bought was an Engin, and I'm happy with it.

So much bling, so many options. I wasn't familiar with the Engin...very nice!

Mone brass

Very similar to the Engin, but in brass. Looks nice and won't fade like some anodized colors.

I have a Thomson and while it is secure, it uses a 3mm bolt. I prefer the Wolftooth with it's 4mm bolt, plus it comes in a lot of sizes and colors.
