Help with Gios Super Record seatpost size
I've tried 27.2( no go)... I've tried 27.0 seatpost and it enters with a slight pry of the binder bolt ears. Does it require a smaller diameter post?
Does anyone recall what post size the Gios Super Record requires?
Much thanks

I noticed the binder ears looked off and more slanted inward. As if a previous owner stuck a smaller diameter seatpost and pinched the ears.
I took channel locks and bent both just slightly outward.
Now the 27.2mm post enters with no struggle. A few paint flake and chips resulted but im happier that its straightened out.
Thanks to all for the help and input.
