Ah, now I see what you mean. Doubt that it has any shock absorbing effect. How should this work? It's imo just another type of "Entlastungsbohrung", to avoid damages if the seatclamp is tightened too much ...

Very interesting! Does it have the shock-absorbing groove underneath the seat tube lug bolt?
