Carbon seat post - which clamp?

[Mart]

I have just bought a new carbon fibre seat post - do I need a specific clamp for this. I have noticed some ads for seat clamps (such as Campagnolo) which note "for carbon seatpost".

thanks.

Any clamp should be fine, just make sure the slit in the clamp and slit in the seat tube are NOT aligned with one another. This way you avoid chewing up the post.The Capmagnolo clamp has the slit offset from the center so you can have it facing the right direction without the slits being aligned.

Thanks for the info.
