SEATPOST strikes again!!! 😀

Mate – you have some proper bad luck!!

Send it back

i would be taking that back to the bike shop

If there’s enough room I’d just cut the top off at the crack and cut another slot.I’ve done it on a frame before.

you’re out the saddle on the downhills anyway…

But its less than 3 months old – send it back ASAP!

i give up Jon …is it worth risking that i the alps ? it bloody steel !

Back to the shop with it so long as yo have run enough seatpost insertion / right size post

That frame needs significant repair / crapping

Your not travelling to the Alps will August – get it back ASAP, get the replacement, sell it and then get that ASR5 you’ve been threatening to get!!

What seatclamp is that as I thought the Surge has an odd size and why they supply one with it.

buy the right size frame so you don’t have to put too much seat post out of your frame?
