Is it common to have the wrong size seatpost installed on a new bike?
Seat post keeps slipping even though the quick release is very tight.
Dealer wants me to replace the QR with a bolt. I can actually rock the post back to front a bit. This has never been the case with any of my other bikes, and I don't want to crush the tube if the post is the wrong size. Post looks like 30.9, tube looks like 31. Should I look for a 31 post or just crank down the bolt. Thanks for the help. Pedro |

Pedro Take the bike back to the department store/walmart/toysrus you bought it from, get a full refund and then go to real bike shop and get some real help. If it was a bike shop find another one. |

It must have come from a bicycle shop--a sleazy one. If the mechanic/salesman thinks that's the right solution, he's not worthy of the name. And if he know better and still suggests a bolt, well, I hate crooks, liars and cheats. |
