Put some carbon paste on the seatpost before inserting into the seat tube. Works like a bomb!

I got it from Bruce Reyneke Cycles. But try your LBS. If they dont sell it they should have some in the workshop or they should be able to tell you where to get some. As far as I can remember I paid R180 for the 80g tube, but it lasts very long.

You can also try asking Evobikes (Naas) or CWC. They are Tacx stockist so they will probably have stock.

Thanks - just spoken to my LBS. They ordered and will have it tomorrow. Thanks again for you input guys.
