….. what seat clamp you are using. boring i know but i find my thomson 27.2mm post a little loose. the seat clamp i’m using needs to be done up real tight and it hurts my hand un/tightening it.

does any one else find the post a little loose? on the sanderson the (same) post fitted perfectly.

also, what forks you running, stem length and width of bars.

cheers

bump?

was also thinking of using the current salsa clamp with a cut down hex key araldite’d in place. doesn’t foul the frame.

someone tell me this will/won’t work?

Using a red one of these with my Thomson post:

Forks: Pike ’08 454 Coil U-Turns
Stem = Thomson 70mm/0deg
Bars = Erm…dunno, RF Diablous O/S bars with about 10mm cut off each end.

Salsa QR seeat collar (30mm dia), old Raceface XY post. Absolutley fine, no slippage.

I think the usual response to this sort of question is “use a coke can shim”.

Edit: although Hope now do a 30mm QR seat clamp (new shape / design).

cheap 30mm one from crc (brand x I think. never slipped with my thomson post

WIIIIIIIIDE bars on a 70mm/0 degree thomson stem

Marzocchi AM SL

Salsa QR collar with Thompson seatpost

Titec Ringleader bars on a Titec Blockhead stem

Marzocchi Z1 Sport

DMr QR one from CRC – About £7 and works great

Forks – 05 Marzocchi z1 freerides at 130mm

Bars – Sunline V2 at 710mm

Stem – Hope at 70mm with a 25 degree rise

Salsa – snap. As in the same, its not broken.
