It keeps sliding down after few bumps and potholes on the road because I put too much weight on it. So, I have to keep readjusting it from time to time.
there is an old trick that actually does work very well. If your seat post tube has a shim in it what you can do is cut a piece of a soda can and put it between the shim and the seat post tube to take a tiny bit of space. This often is enough to improve the group of the clamp to hold the seat in place. Will cost you nothing and certainly worth a try.
