Jeff send me these photos of his Forte seatpost that snapped due to a "low-speed climbing snafu." I liked Willie's response - "now it's a road post."

Does anything make less sense than using a material that shouldn't either be greased or clamped, to make a component whose job description involves smearing with grease and wrapping a clamp around? Buyers of carbon seatposts are fraud victims--I feel badly for them.
carbon seatposts don't get greased they only have a clamping compounds which contain mirco-granules to aid in clamp efficiency and to reduce in tighning torque
