Seatpost sizes can be so frustrating
I own bikes with many different seatpost sizes. I have a box of seatposts with various sizes. And I use one of these cheap but accurate digital calipers.
And yet I’m often having the hardest time to figure out the correct seatpost.
Example 1: 1983 Nishiki Cresta. According to most of what I read the correct size is 26.6 or 26.8 (I found reports of both).
But on my Nishiki I can’t get a 26.6 post to fit and a 26.4 post fits like a glove.
Example 2: my Van Herwerden (Chesini) Columbus SL frame should fit a 27.2 post but I can only fit a 26.6 post.
And I find it impossible to measure the size on the inside of the down tube.
With both examples I don’t believe anything is bend or forced.
Ok, I feel better now 😀
Happy Sunday!
