no seatpost compression sucks. Get a starnut and hammer it down close to the bottom of the fork but make it so the head of the bolt for your ics does not stick out of the bottom of the fork. Then drill out the threads in the starnut and put your bolt through. That is what I did for my old inward fork. Works perfectely.

 

[Kay Are]

seat post clamp compression is actually really simple and it doesnt loosen up at all

 

[ScoOter_ChilLa]

thanks tomk, but what size of starnut do i need for the fork?

 

[Steezeman]

Do what TomK said, he's the only one that's given a somewhat straight answer in this thread. You'll need a 1 1/8 star nut.
