L.H. Thomson showed off this prototype quick release seat clamp that borrows a ratcheting mechanism similar to DT Swiss’ RWS skewers. It’ll simply (and very smoothly if this prototype us any indication) twist up to release and down to clamp. Once you got it tight enough, the lever will pull out an rotate to several fixed (ratcheted) positions to line up where you want it. This one doesn’t look anything like the intended finished product, they’re looking at doing a longer lever that matches the curve of the collar. Should be ready to ship by the end of the year.
