So I'm getting a little bit of play in my post between the

Is the shaft actually carbon or is metal with a sticker or something on it. If it is carbon I would be pretty nervous about the play wearing the shaft as it rocks or moves.

Maybe you can epoxy the parts together?

>>978178
Theres about an inch of metal inside the carbon at the top of the tube. I guess thats what makes it a "composite" carbon post.

>>978179
Carbon fibre itself is a composite material.

The only way to fix it would be to remove the metal part and epoxy it back in. Does it rattle about or does it just flex? If it's rattling then the bond is completely gone and it's only being held in by interference so it should be easy to pull out.

Nice. Looks like it's fixed by this pin. Gonna try to punch it in.
What kind of epoxy we talkin?

>>978184
Nevermind. This pin is bottomed out inside the tube. Looks like it's non-serviceable unless I drill it out. Thanks for the help.

toss that shit unless you wanna have a BBS in your arse when 60 miles away from home

It's a safety issue. Replace the seatpost.
If it's a name-brand seatpost, see if they'll warranty it. Some companies will warranty the weirdest failures, because it gives them an opportunity to do failure analysis on the failed part, to improve their manufacturing processes and quality control.

Big black seatpost?

>>978200
I checked online. Company changed a few times, but this is likely a shit tier economy composite post. Probably just gonna man up and buy a decent new one.

>>978199
Bottom Bracket Senpai?

For ghetto rig try those http://www.kontaktsa.pl/foto4/obejmy/obejma_gbs_front-5.jpg

Ghetto rigging with epoxy is not a terrible idea if you can cleanly remove the metal part.

Hose clamps are exploding asshole insanity.

hahahah le garbon maymay

The maximum height markings on your seatpost are there for a reason folks.
