Mezzo seatpost clamp problem ? Any ideas ?
I got a mezzo on ebay, and think/thought I got a bargain.
however, the seatpost won't stay up - I am wondering if there is something missing from the seatpost/qr clamp.
Here are some pictures. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Is something missing ?
Hope it is something simple - advice welcome.

I don't know anything about Mezzos but that clamp doesn't look right. The top area should be the same diameter as the inside of the seattube.

Hi.
you are missing a rubber shim. You can proberly make one.
the mezzo seatpost has no slippage issues.
it can crack as there is a degign fault.
good luck with getting it running.

I slipped a De lipped frame seat post QR band directly around the seat post itself,..
Stopped post slipping down,
Fold is Just having 2 QR levers stacked on top of each other, to open ..
