Dunno what Jerrick's problems have been but I've been using 'this Odyssey single-bolt clamp' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=563) on both my trials and muni. It's one big beefy bolt, and it's never come loose on me before.

It's easier to strip a double bolt if you're not careful : /
I feel the opposite. And when you do strip a single bolt it is useless. A double bolt clamp, if you do happen to strip one set of threads, you still have another.

I've had my seat twist in the odyssey a few times. I'd recommend the primo double bolt over it.

kinda pricey for a clamp...But I just dont know what size a koxx frame is I remember they are a lil bigger than kh cause you have to shim them for the same size post...

But worth it! I had salsa but this one blows it away. You need to use a caliper and measure the O.D. of the seat tube. Then order accordingly. Me and lots of local Muni guys use this QR clamp. I'm always changing the seat height, depending on whether I'm climbing, bombing the DH or doing tech stuff, and it would be highly inconvenient and time consuming to have to use an allen wrench each time.
My Torker LX has two small allen-wrench bolts. We've twisted the seat on it a few times. I think it's not a matter of two bolts versus one, it's a matter of well-designed versus poorly designed. (I'd say the LX ranks so-so on that feature).
A pet peeve here: Why the heck do they make it where the seat can even rotate in the first place? Is there somebody somewhere that NEEDS the seat at a 45 degree angle and they felt the need to accommodate them?

I agree, a stripped double it more useful than a stripped single bolt.
BUT, my point was that double bolts strip EASIER than single bolts.
