so me being the posh, rich (and good looking) fine feathered chap that i am... my bike is a carrera fury...

yes, yes... i know, bow down to my amazing taste and obvious wealth ๐Ÿ˜†

i'm after an uppy downy seatpost and having measured my current seat post with digital thingies its 31.72 millimetres in diameter...

i'm going to go out on a limb and guess that's as near as dammit the 31.8mm uppy downy i'll be needing, and that the 0.08mm difference is needed so the seat clamp can be tightened?

looking at the reverb (i know, i know... they're failing all over the place, blowing seals and stuff.... but goddammit man they're shiny and other people on the trails must be made to know that i'm awesome) they come in 2 different lengths, on the fury, can i go for the longer one?

also, anybody got any advice on routing the cable for the remote when it arrives? would it just be a case of cable-tying it to the top-tube?

cheers for any help guys and gurls ๐Ÿ™‚

sounds more like a 31.6 seat post. Does it not say on the seatpost somewhere

I'm guessing the measurement is not accurate... it'll be 31.6mm.

Are you riding yet? Do you want to trial my one?

31.6mm... wine or cheap perfume... I don't really care.

I really want to go and play at Jedi's. I wonder if he likes cheap perfume too.

Obviously you would have checked the halford's website... right?

If it's the same as that it's a 31.8

shim.. could this be one of those situations where a coke can can be mutilated for the testing?

yeah tis that beautiful bike you linked to... apart from my forks are the model from the year before so they're not blighted by an ugly dark sticker!

cheap perfume eh..... what about if i 'accidentally' spill one of the testers in boots on a rag, then liberally rub your body with the rag next time you visit for play timez? (i have wine too if that would help the situation/embarrassment)
