Really like salsa but I cant see a 27.2 anywhere. Oh and I hate hope. Any suggestions. And no “stop being fussy” please.

Are you sure it’s 27.2? that’s normally the seatpost size, not the seat tube/clamp size.

Salsa make great clamps,

and as coatsey says, its unlikely to be 27.2

Yeah thats the post size. I thought thats what you buy them buy. My last one was. Salas from crc.

Yes, I am a numpty. Will get vernier out so see what I need. At least I can have a salsa one now so woohoo.

Deary, deary me. (Walks slowly away, shaking head). ;0)

You probably need 30mm.

Salsas are great.

Woodman Deathgrip?

KCNC all the way

KCNC looks like a hope copy. Crap compared to salsa imo.

no ,not a hope copy at all, much much better that the tat hope sell.

Bangs head on desk then points and laughs at a numpty!

new hope clamp is a different beast to the old one, much easier to torque up

chromag but not sure where in the uk you would get one.

I’ve just spotted this thread and I am shocked. There are obviously two “The swede’s” on here and one is an absolute dip stick who knows nothing about bikes n that.

So which TheSwede are you then?

good try dipstick!

I find On-one’s 29.8mm version of the Salsa clamp better than the “real” 30mm Salsa

I always use the Salsa but they do get gouged up in nasty conditions. The Syntace superlock looks interesting as it seems to have some sort of bush between the two surfaces unlike the Salsa. The Tune Wurger also looks interesting as it runs on an internam cam rather than an external one. Salsa are the best looking though!

As a serial seatclamp wrecker, I can tell you for a fact that no aftermarket seatclamp is anywhere near as good as just about any O/E clamp that comes fitted to a bike (And I’ve tried them all. Those Woodman ones in particular are very poor)

I’ve got a Woodman and I’d agree, not up to much.

I’ve never had any problems with Salsa or Hope.

Clever swede here, not numpty swede. So are we all agreed that salsa are the most aesthetically pleasing seat clamp on the market.
