Noticed some scratched on my carbon seatpost. I had to replace a faulty seatclamp and it wont scratch further but im worried if I need a new seatpost?
Cheers!

I would ride it, looks cosmetic and no actual damage to the carbon but I’m not an expert and accept no liability!
My Grail seatpost looks similar. Canyon told me to ride and watch.

My ultimate seatpost has the same thing. I’m still riding it with zero issues.
Hard to tell from photo but you sure that’s scratches and not clearcoat that been transferred onto the surface? Like I wouldn’t expect a scratch to have a mirror shine where you can see your reflection in it
In a dark room, shine a flashlight through the opening at the bottom of the seatpost. If you can see light shining through any of the cracks, then it’s time to replace it.
