Re: [RBW] Re: What size seatpost for new Appaloosa and Atlantis

I had this issue with several MIT Rivs and it seemed to be a problem with the 
stock 26.8 post. In every case that size Nitto fit perfect.

When I bought my Joe A the seat post  size spec didn’t come close.  I needed to 
up the size of the post so that it would fit. I emailed Riv to let them know 
how far Off the size was.

On my Appaloosa, I had a nice NOS Suntour Superbe Pro 26.8 seatpost that I 
wanted to use (I put the provided Kalloy aside), but it was similarly a 
slightly loose fit, plus I also noticed that the inside of the seat tube 
wasn't completely round - before the seatpost clamp was completely 
tightened down, there was a slight gap on one side where the post entered 
the seat tube. As I also had a 27.0 Nitto seatpost, I got out my expanding 
23.75-27.0 reamer and reamed the seattube to take the 27.0 Nitto post, 
which a) got rid of the looseness, and b) got rid of the non-roundness.

26.8, but they come shipped with a Kalloy seapost. I found the post it 
shipped with fit best and a different identical looking 26.8 Kalloy was so 
loose it could rattle. A Nitto was better than that but still loose enough 
to fall right in all the way to the saddle by gravity alone, but it seemed 
to tighten down securely.
