Torque for seatpost clamp

The seat post clamp that came with the Flaanimal 5.0 has a max torque recommendation of 4Nm.  I would like to bring the Topeak Nano 5Nm for a biketrip as all my other bolts have 5Nm. Is the recommended torque for the clamp itself or bolt? Or is this for the maximum torque recommended given there is a carbon tube inside the metal collar?

I am not sure how far the carbon tube is placed inside the collar. Would there be any issues if I get a seat post clamp that has a 5Nm torque setting and use that?

Thanks!

Answer

The Flaanimal frame is extremely strong. You can safely use up to 6nm with no issues if your clamp supports it.
