Hey, Michael:
When all else fails, of course, there's the old 'beer can' shim trick. That
*always* works, plus you get to drink the beer!

A couple of things that have helped me in the past with slightly small
posts: Use no-slip instead of grease or use very VERY little grease,
especially where the seatpost clamp is. On one post that wouldn't stop
slipping no matter what I put a piece of clear vinyl framesaver/helicopter
tape
For whatever it's worth, now, just to confirm: last night I tried the two
Dajia posts that I have, in a 26.8 size, and those both fit about the same
as the Thomson. Which is to say: probably fine in every way. I still feel
that the fit is a bit looser than I'd like, but it also seems totally
Yep, I meant 0.2mm and carelessly left off the decimal (and same for the
other differences mentioned.) My mistake but glad you understood what I
was suggesting.

I have solved a few slipping post issues by sizing up the post by .2mm.
Oddly enough all 3 of them have been Reynolds tubing.
If I were you I'd buy the next size up and see what it does.

Yeah, I hear you. My hunch is that it's totally fine and 10 minutes into my
first ride I'll have forgotten all about it.
Main thing is I just wanted to see if someone had some sort of definitive
information to the effect of it definitely not being advisable to use a
Thomson seatpost with a
For the money, if it’s wrong, they’ll replace it for free with no questions
asked, I would wager. Cross that bridge when you get to it. Regardless, it
should be ‘right’ so you can stop thinking about it, and move on to enjoying
your bike.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. For the money, it's annoying to have to think
that the Thomson post would be the problem. The bike came with a Dajia
post, which I'm fine with using, were it a zero-setback post. I can't right
now recall that it was like, pulling it out. I will check, with it.
Well, it would be a 0.2mm difference, not a full 2mm, but point still
taken: I agree that in a perfect world I don't want to do anything as
drastic as using a wrong-sized seatpost.
I don't know that I'd trust my reading of my analog/non-dial calipers to
accurately reflect what would likely be
Hi Michael,
If possible, I'd take a caliper measurement of both the post outer
diameter and the seatube inner diameter to be sure if either (or both) are
slightly out of spec.
Going up 2mm would not likely work in your favor if the seatube is spec'd
correctly at 26.8.
I also wonder if the
10 matches
