Hello,
I have noticed on certain Carbon Fiber seatposts(for ex. a Campy REcord carbon, I won a Ebay auction over a year ago.... and the guy sent it to me... and the back part of the post- possibly where it was clamped onto the frame- left a stress-crack / or compression crack at some point in time). Actually, on the back part of the post, there was a small 1mm X 7mm - long chunk- actual Carbon missing from the post . I sent the post back, for my money back. I told the seller that its a safety issue with me, thats why I sent it back. Could this carbon post have been used... with no issues ????
I know, many of you will say... "when carbon goes, it goes /catostrophic faliure" . I already know this. Sure, there is some stress being applied to a seatpost when a rider is riding..... but how would a seatpost hold up with this situation over time ??
Thanks in advance.
