+1 on this! I would say that a slipping ANYTHING is unacceptable. This isn't rocket surgery: Huffy or whatever they are selling at Wally World these days can manage to get parts to fit together. The "Taj Mahal" of seatposts shouldn't need to be modified to fit a brand new frame...
If Rivendell has a boilerplate workaround for this, I would say they may need to reconsider their QC specs and that of their suppliers. Just sayin'... I can't think of many other companies that would be given a free pass on something like this. -Mike On Monday, April 27, 2015 at 1:51:27 PM UTC-4, jay hartman wrote: > I know the folks at Riv are nice people and all, but if your brand new > $2000 frame is out of spec, then the right thing to do is send it back and > get a new one with the correct tolerance.
