I had this problem with several MIT Rivs and the stock post which was
solved with Nitto replacements. The problem here is the OP says he used a
Thompson, too..I'll be surprised if a Nitto is nominally larger than BOTH

Re-reading this sentence, I realize that the assertion is incomplete. It
may help to add that sometimes a top quality aluminum post of the same
nominal diameter, like a Nitto, is just sufficiently wider to solve the
problem.

I've had that problem with several frames, and I have used either blue
Loctite or the fiber gel developed for carbon fiber components, and
both products stopped the slipping, at least with careful tightening
of the sp collars.
On one frame with a seatpost collar instead of integrated sp clamp, I
Could try carbon fiber paste instead of grease on seatpost, in seat tube.
If you do that, be sure to clean out old grease first.
Another thought, if you have access to a knurling tool; perhaps your shop
has one. That would raise a section of post that’s inside the frame.

On my Gunnars that all featured slipping seat posts, I eventually used a
Coke can shim to fix the issue.

Anybody else have issues with their seat post slipping on their Clem H or

Favorite ride of all time. I have a perfect 30 mile SF-Marin Headlands-SF
