I had this issue as well w/ my Hunqapillar I bought new last year and have a thread somewhere on here on it. I ended up just replacing the seatpost binder nut, I think I tightened the previous one too much. Haven't had the issue since. But I also talked to Bryan and he mentioned bringing in the seatpost to knurl it, I still keep meaning too but haven't done it yet as the slippage stopped.
