Whilst looking for your k-sword torque specs, stumbled across this info.

 

It should be borne in mind that there is natural

deterioration of the strength values of the stemhandlebar

system depending on its specific use

(competitive use, frequency of use, road conditions).

ITM recommends its replacement each

competitive season

or, in any case, when you

exceed a distance of about 40 thousand kilometres

K sword is listed under the 2006 catalogue but not under the torque section I suppose it should also be between 7-8???? There are pictures of the seatpost as well so Im not completly loosing it!!

I'm surprised that no-one has told you to tighten it until you hear a crack and then loosen it by half-a-turn.  Wink

Had a similar problem a while ago and, after much valuable advice about grease and seatpost clamps, eventually discovered that my LBS had inserted an adaptor/ spacer to convert to a smaller seatpost. Once I removed the insert and purchased a new, correct size seatpost etc the problem disapeared.

Took my bike to the local LBS and met the mechanic that knows everything. Watched him do his craft and after he finished the post was tightened but the seat loose, he then proceeded to tell me that he cannot do his best work if he is watched, stripped my moer and told him that nobody works on my bike if I dont watch. What a nuckfut!!!

 

Will test it this weekend!! Thanks for all the help guys and gals!!!
