UPDATE: Talked to Riv, and they said sometimes they get a 27 seat tube from Waterford. They immediately sent me the correct seatpost for free (without me even getting a chance to reply). Really awesome service, as always! On Tuesday, January 31, 2017 at 11:02:05 AM UTC-5, John G. wrote: > >

Thanks. I'm contacting Rivendell. Here's what's strange: it turns out that the S83 seatpost on my Hunq (which I bought complete from Rivendell) is a 26.8! I'm really hoping a 27.2 will fit. On Monday, January 30, 2017 at 7:17:53 PM UTC-5, Tim wrote: > > John, I would go back to Bill's

John, I would go back to Bill's excellent questions because, in a private email back and forth, he helped me solve the exact same issue with my Hunqapillar. If the Atlantis could have ever had a slightly smaller seat post installed and then the bolt tightened, the correct size will not fit.

Sometimes something as simple as a burr on the inside edge of the seat tube can make a seat post feel too snug, in which case a round bastard file will take care of it in a few seconds. If you get the bike back feel inside the seat tube with your fingers. On Monday, January 30, 2017 at

Also have they measured the actual seatpost? Also have you ever installed your own seatpost? One person's tight is another's just right On Monday, January 30, 2017 at 5:34:45 PM UTC-5, John G. wrote: > > Option A. I'll call Riv. > > On Monday, January 30, 2017 at 5:25:37 PM UTC-5, Bill Lindsay

Nope. It is 27.2. Every seatpost I've ever had was a tight fit and comes out scratched. On Monday, January 30, 2017 at 4:26:19 PM UTC-5, John G. wrote: > > Hey folks, > > The shop building up my Atlantis has informed me that my 27.2 seatpost > Nitto S83 is a tad too tight. They're recommending
