Not really, tough as nails, but give a chimp a tool and he will break anything

Also broke mine... (although the previous owner started the job)

Hope replacement clamp was not cheap, but it's doing the job well

I also broke my clamp replaced with a Thompson. Broke it the night before SSWC :-/ had to make a quick plan with another clamp of sorts.

The problem is the bike is specced with a 26.8mm seatpost but then the seatpost slips all the time so you have to over tighten the seatpost clamp.

After a bit of research I found that alot of Peace owners where buying 27mm seatposts. and had know issues.

I struggled to find one but i eventually found a 27mm from CRC (itsa not the lightest or name brand but never had an issue since)

Thompson used to make the exact size 26.8 posts and clamps. I had both on my first peace.
