Hmm... it seems there's a misunderstanding. The wheel isn't out of true. It's not a question of spoke tension. The wheel is perfectly round and true. The problem is only at one point, the seam,...

Thanks! I really don't have an ability to true laterally or radially so I'd have to pay someone to do it. How would this fix the problem since I'm pretty sure it's the rim seam at one point and not...

Hey, thanks for the response. It's probably more like 1mm now that I look at it closer.

Here's a video of the problem I took. I bought the wheelset brand new, never ridden.

Bump at tubular rim joint

The 27.4 seatpost I got works and there's space left between the ears. I only think this works because the seat tube widens below the clamp area, allowing the post to go in with less resistance.

No, it was probably the previous owner who had it for 15 years. I just finished it a month ago and it is only recently that I realized my seat was sliding down (knee pain).

On the warrantly, I am not the original owner, unfortunately! I bought it second hand.

I have thought about replacing with a clamp but the rear of the collar is below the top of the top tube, so...

Thanks! I measured the gap and it's about 3mm, so maybe I could use a 27.4. It's an odd size with only one type on ebay, a Kalloy.

Do you know of any other seatposts in that size?
