Hey
Has anyone modified their seat+post and attached them together?
I have a cheap carbon seat and post that I'd like to try this on as a winter project.
Now it seems to me that the contact surface will be quite small. How to ensure the seat and post remains attached? What kind of preparation and glues/chemicals are required for this?
Obviously dremeling the rails away and the top of the post to fit nicely together is the first step. The second?
Even if it's too much to write, a little is better than nothing. Appreciate it! Then just piece it together, no problem.

Carbon seat + post : Remove bracket/rails and attach seat directly to post - bonding?

I'm thinking about Berk's seatpost combo:
It looks like there's a fin in front and behind the seatpost itself, which helps hold the saddle in place. Carbon fiber's definitely needed to make this fin. I'm guessing the fin opens up underneath the saddle (like a 'T') with the top part supporting the saddle. It should help to be able to vacuum bag the whole thing.
It might also be possible to bond the rails directly to the post itself:
