I thought I was making a quick fix to stop my seat from rotating while riding. I was wrong, and now I fear I’ve really screwed up.
After tightening the seat post clamp nut, I noticed the seat post did stop rotating, but was really hard to push down and pull up when unclamped. I then loosened the nut to adjust, but couldn’t get the smooth movement I had before.
After a few days, the seat post has been getting slightly easier to move up and down, not as smooth as before but better. What I’m most concerned with is that my suspension block notch to stop the rear triangle from folding when lifting the bike does not catch the locking pin anymore.
The pictures here show that the locking pin is too far to the right when the clamp is locked, and loosening the nut so that the pin is centred means the seat post slips, am I screwed?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Make sure the clamp sits on the right place on the frame, specifically to the left, I believe there is a notch that you have to fit, it’s not just a round hole. Maybe that piece is not align with the notch and was pushed to the right. Update us
