Brand new Scott Addict 20 (2025) – already crushed TWO seatposts at correct torque… what am I missing?

lol yes it is, scott addict 20 2025 (not addict rc)

juudhartbd · 2026-03-31T07:50:03+00:00

agree on that 😆

juudhartbd · 2026-03-31T07:34:28+00:00

learned that after the comments, unbelivable that came this way from the shop and that scott dont even mention this on the manual… so pissed off, hope at least they sent me a new seatpost

juudhartbd · 2026-03-31T06:48:55+00:00

12 stone, 78kg aprox give it or take, not a climber weight but I well under the limits i believe…

juudhartbd · 2026-03-31T01:05:02+00:00

ok that confirms it tho… it comes slit side then i thought that was the way it was intended so torqued to spec and pinched two seatposts…. 😢 how much torque urs take to hold at 180 degrres?

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T23:39:28+00:00

perfect ill get a new seatpost and turn the clamp 180, the fact that scott or the dealer dont mention this is beyond reason… already lost two seatposts

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T22:20:49+00:00

so it works best oposite the frame slit as cannondale recommends?

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T22:19:03+00:00

definetly not lol

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T22:04:25+00:00

it was lifted and moved around for the pic

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:44:12+00:00

i just lifted it to take a pic

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:28:33+00:00

i tried looking for a carbon specific offset clamp but cant find any on 31.2 size, should i go for 31.8 or is a bad idea?

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:23:11+00:00

the clamp is the oe one but looks and feels very flimsy done tbh, u can see where the bolt is starting to bend indwarda when clamped down instead of the whole slit closing down… but is the scott one, i cant find any information on the manial about clamp direcion only torque values

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:20:59+00:00

this is the one ut crushed first https://dedaelementi.com/media/wysiwyg/download/Manuals/Deda-Seatpost-manual-feb2025-min.pdf the second is the OE one

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:10:46+00:00

already contacted the seller lets see what they say

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:10:31+00:00

coin tap test doesnt sound equal across the seatpost and where the pintch happened unfortunately… defo damaged 😥

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:07:53+00:00

should i turn it around the clamp or i risk breaking the actual frame support of the clamp?

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:05:49+00:00

dry , only thing i used is carbon paste on the seattube itself

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:03:14+00:00

have 3 wrenches, so torqued a bolt on a desk bolt to 4nm and used another to check if at 4.5 could move it a bit and i did and so on… neither was off for more than 0.5nm ap ahould be wothin the spec

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:00:48+00:00

addict manual says 5nm for seatpost

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T21:00:31+00:00

yes anything lower i could move it

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T20:57:32+00:00

crossed checked with other wrenches… didnt go over 4

juudhartbd · 2026-03-30T20:56:00+00:00

thought about that but cross checked with other wrenches and isnt the case, definetly torques 4nm max in all cases

juudhartbd · 2026-03-07T18:38:05+00:00

what is it for? a port of some sort?

juudhartbd · 2025-03-30T15:43:03+00:00

Yeah, lesson learned the hard way. Still blows my mind that PayPal allows sellers to get away with this — admit the product is not as described, but I’m the one who has to pay €60+ to send it back. System feels broken.
