The product, in the report: Argon 18 ‘2 way seatpost’ seat clamp with ‘rocker’ and ‘rocker clamp’
I have an Argon 18 Electron C track bicycle. I was riding on the track when the seat clamp rotated backward causing the seat to rotate. This caused me to fall on the track while riding 21 mph. Rotation of the seat has been a problem on both Argon 18 bikes I have owned with the same seat clamp design, but this time the rotation was abrupt causing me to lose my pedaling cadence, and on a fixed gear track bike this can have disastrous consequences. Fortunately I was training alone and no one else was involved.
