This is fascinating. During a saddle swap I took a S83 post off my Clem & put a Kalloy in its place. No slip wig either. Then I got my Gus. Wanted to put the S83 on it. Absolutely could not get it to go in the Gus seat tube. Kalloy slid right in. Both are 26.8. Now I am suspicious the Kalloy might

My recent Susie calls for a 26.8 seatpost but with the stock Kalloy
seatpost there is a fair amount of play. I had a 27.0 Kalloy seatpost that
fit snug and solved the problem. I'm not sure a Nitto 26.8 seatpost would
have solved the problem for this frame.

Got it.
Just so you know, the XC Pro has a very strong return spring. No idea if
that will make any difference for you. Looking for feedback on that with
Dura Bar Ends myself.
If you revisit Shimano, I will recommend that the ones from the same era as
the XC Pro are about the best for 46t
Looking good, Mack.
Enjoy!

I like how they look :) But I'm not opposed to other Suntour 28.6 bottom
pull variants that would accomplish the same thing.
And mainly Suntour over Shimano just to try something new.
Thanks for your questions!

Hi Brian,
If your stem has a tapped hole for the clamp bolt (as many steel stems have,
rather than a loose nut like many aluminum Nittos) you can use this method:
Helpful tip: Take the pinch bolt out. Insert a coin in the slot between the
clamp area. Thread the bolt in from the back side.

The brand matters if I keep finding that one a little undersized and was

Why the XC Pro specifically vs an XC Pro - OR - any HyperDrive-C compatible

perspective?

I'd go ahead with the Super Grip and crank down on the bolt a little more.
The worse that happens is you snap the bolt and need a new one but that's
not likely. If this doesn't work then you just got unlucky with the
diameter on the post, I've run into this on a couple frames with it.

You need to lubricate the binder bolt because:
1. It can gall if not lubricated, especially if the bolt and nut are
stainless steel.
2. The lubricant allows more of the force that you apply to go into
tightening the bolt and clamping the post and less to overcoming friction.
If all else fails,

I did swap my stem out for a Nitto, but did not have issues with slippage
for the few miles of shake-down use on my new Sam. It also held the bike
for it's build, but that is no real test. I left the binding bolt stone
dry as it is a nylock. This is not an area where I wanted to over-torque
Those posts are a pain in the arse. That bike needs a Nitto!

Not a fan of those stock seatposts, but the Super Grip is worth a try. The

Is there grease on the binder bolt threads. Is the head of the bolt greased
where it contacts the frame? If either answer is no, you just may not have

Hi,
Looking for the above mentioned stem in black, preferably in a 120mm but
might consider 110mm. Dm me if you have one lying around you're not using.

I have indeed considered a 56 Atlantis, Toyo or Waterford. They're too
short for me. My PBH is 87.
The longer story behind my quest is that back in 2009 my plans to order an
Atlantis had to be scuttled. In 2010, I bought a 56 cm LHT with 26" wheels.
