Hello - short and no doubt stupid question: if I have a 27.2 mm seatpost, will the Hope 28.6 mm clamp fit? (They don't have anything smaller, and I'm guessing the clamp needs to be a little bigger than the post).
Thanks in advance.
Don't think so,you'll need a 32mm clamp.
Best to measure your frame.
An aluminium frame will have thicker walled tubes than a steel one for example, so will use a bigger clamp for the same size seat post.
Depends what frame it is, we have three bikes with 27.2 posts, all use a different size clamp
Balls 🙁
Surely this should just be easy to cope with numpties like me.
What bike is it?
Genesis Altitude 20 aka 'The Winter Mud Bike'.

Steel frame I would say somewhere around 30mm. Have you checked to see if the size has been stamped on the clamp, sometimes on the inside?
Hi Craig - blooming good idea, but just checked and nada. Thanks though!
A quick google suggests it's 30.
Thank you Khani.
