hi guys, and happy new year!

im interested in getting a joplin 4 adjustable seatpost, just wondered as i have a 27.2mm seat tube, is it possible to get some form of shim to allow for a 30.9mm to be able to fit one of these? i know it may sound stupid as its larger going into a smaller tube, but just wanted to check, seems so stupid only GD are available and the pure racing ones, which no one has stock of.....

really like the look of the joplin too ๐Ÿ™

is this possible to shim it up or am i being a retardo??!?!

No can do, big thing into little hole won't fit. Even with copious amount of grease

Give us a bell on Monday and we can chat it over. We've got the Gravity Dropper in 27.2 too as another option but there's loads of options and price depends on which you go for

I'm on holiday today and don't have access to all the stock levels but email me on matthew@screamingjaffa.co.uk and I'll see what I can do. Might be tomorrow before I can give you a definitive answer though
