Hi Vickster
It hasn’t failed, I was just thinking about options I might have over an annoying issue I’ve got.
Basically the seatpost has either slipped, or otherwise made some odd noises from the get go. I’ve tried a number of different ‘posts and clamps (including a fancy Thomson one), and everything else I can think off (grease, no grease, carbon paste etc). I’ve also changed saddles etc. I am now wondering if the seat tube is slightly oversize - when you put the ‘post in without doing up the clamp there is definite front and back movement. I’m slightly clutching at straws, but was going to contact Genesis (if under warranty) to see if I can get anywhere with this.
Unfortunately the retailer has closed down (John’s Bikes in Bath), although the parent company has other shops still trading.
Cheers
Dave
