When all else fails, you can attempt the "Coke can" spacer remedy. It's the
only thing that worked on my seat tube in my Morgul-Bismark TT frame, which
for some reason is just a tad wider than it needs to be. Carefully slice a
Coke can into an inch wide strip (good scissors will work) and wrap it
around until you take up the necessary slack, cut the excess, then clamp
down the clamp. It's cheap, lightweight, durable, and doesn't rust. Pick a
soda can color that matches your paint.

First off, let me say that I've been trying to use a Problem Solver clamp from Quality Bicycle Parts on a Surly Pacer. The Pacer has a 28.8 mm seat tube and the P.S. clamp seems to rock when I tighten it down, changing the alignment. I've spent over three hours trying to get this thing to work. I've tried every trick I know and it's time to try a different clamp.

Does anyone out there have experience with the Surly Pacer? What did you use for the Front Derailleur clamp?

It's 3:30 AM, time to admit defeat and go to bed.
