you have my sympathy as I had that happen going up a hill in my first tri this weekend. I don't know what the solution is, but good luck finding it. Can you LBS not offer any advice/help?

I am having real problems with slippage on my seatpost, the bike is a Focus Izalco Tria (see bike porn) and I have tried lots of things to stop the seatpost from slipping when I ride out, it starts at the right height, but by the time I have done 20k it's a good 2 inches lower !! which puts real strain on the legs.
I have removed all grease from the post and inside the frame,
I have used longer bolts to attempt to tighten the rear clasp some more.
I have used duck tape wrapped around the post to give it a bit more bulk.
I am currently experementing with super glue !!
But all the above have still not fixed the problem, I have spoken to Wiggle and they inform me that there is not an aftermarket seatpost to replace the factory one.
Help, I race again on Sunday !!!
