Super strong quick realese seat clamp

Well I've bent the arm of my £10 quick realese seat clamp. Its was a
silly aluminium desighn with a big gap in a high stress area (were it
bent).
So do any of you guys know of a realy tough QR seat clamp? (I'm
thinking CrMo or somthing) or am I just better off sticking with the
bolt type?

Bolt is generally better - you can get a double bolt for a more secure
grip.

Think why you need a Q/R and how often you use it... bolts are
generally cheaper too.

pressure of something. It seemed to work good.

I have used the Salsa flip-lock QR seatpost clamp; they're ok, but they
wear out rapidly due to metal on metal contact.

Then I found the HOPE seatpost QR clamp and NEVER looked back! Far
superior to Salsa IMHO and about the same price.
