iamthewaltrus said:*I already got a bolt put through the seat clamp and it is
still twisting. I think I'm just gonna drill a hole
through the seat post and move the bolt there. Unless of
course this is bad? *
I wouldn't drill a hole through the frame and seatpost. It's
just not necessary. You'll have limited future adjustment.
What happens if you grow or change to a different brand of
shoes with a thicker or thinner sole. A good BMX seatpost
clamp will solve the problem.
The two bolt 'Primo Viking clamp'
(unicycle.comshopexd.aspOpen ↗) will
definitely solve the twisting problem. The top half of the
Primo clamp grips the seatpost and the bottom half grips the
frame. It is very secure. I use the two bolt Primo Viking
clamp on my stock Coker. With other clamps the seat would
twist. With the Primo Viking clamp the seat is rock solid.
One possible problem is that some frames have the 'cheap
stock clamp'
(unicycle.comshopexd.aspOpen ↗) spot
welded to the frame. That makes it hard to remove the cheap
clamp so you can replace it with a quality clamp like the
Primo Viking. If you can remove the stock clamp then try the
Primo Viking. It will solve any twisting problems.
One other possible factor is that on some frames there is
weld splatter and/or excess chrome blobs inside the neck of
the frame where it clamps to the seatpost. If you carefully
sand down the weld splatters and other globs the clamp may
clamp better. Just don't go crazy with the sanding and sand
it down too far.
