What we use in stubborn cases, and there's plenty of this with new proprietary bullshit clamps, d-shaped seatposts and out of tolerance frames is hairspray. But better be sure where do you want it because breaking the bond takes a lot of WD40 and swearing.
Better if you can try different seatposts and clamps, tolerances in the bike industry are so bad you may find something that works. -
Nothing beats cotton tires and latex tubes.

It's the small shitty details like bad taping job and the cable routing. And the background OFC

I had the bead slowly separating like these more than once. I don't know if it's actually a fault or maybe knocking it into potholes and the like.

I've just seen the Factor Ostro Gravel and the Basso Diamante 2023. Ostro is cool, just what every Fred dreams of, an integrated aero melt with gravel tires. Seriously though, aero gravel, who goes that fast on gravel.
The new diamante on the other hand WOW, so light, so aggressive, like the modern supersix should have been. Internet pics don't do much justice but pending a test ride my favorite modern bike. -
There's a list of approved tires for each wheel brand, then there's the tire brands who say they are hookless compatible.

Favorite bike of Insta chads around here, GLWS

We install a lot of hookless tires. It's a minefield of max pressures and compatibility. Even if I never had one jumping out on me customers had, always going over max pressure.
It's not a problem AFAIK on lower pressure setups but if you're a big guy and need big tires rock hard I'll give it a second look, not worth it for a few grams less, just another cost cutting measure disguised as evolution. -
Disagree, I had a PRO seatpost with the same system. You move it around to get your desired angle. TBF it was still better than the side clamps you get in most bikes now.
I'd like to see the red F12 with a 17ยบ stem, gumwalls and EPS
