Buy a 25.0 and have it turned down - but this could be dangerous. Have one made out of solid bar stock. It might be possible to take apart a suspension seatpost and use the smaller diameter inner post. If it is too small you might have to find a sleeve or have one made. Maybe someone has taken a suspension seatpost apart and knows if this will work. |

Find a shop that can order one from Euro-Asia Imports (if they still have them) and use a shim. Jeff |

Maybe someone has taken a suspension seatpost apart and knows if this will work. Suspension post internals would not work; not even close, not even usually the right shape. Turning down an existing post would not be a good move IMO. Using a 7/8" post with a 1.2mm shim might work, as long as you don't need a post with a mounting clamp on the top. Some BMX bikes use that diameter. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Words processed in a facility that contains nuts. |

... Salutations. I'm still looking for a 23.4mm seatpost. Anyone out there with a spare? Financial recompense a certainty. thanks I know there are 22.2mm, 25.4mm, and 26.6mm seatposts, but 23.4 doesn't seem to be one that exists. 23.4mm seems to be about the size of a good quality broom handle or mop handle. A wood dowel shaved down a little would work too. A little shaving on the top end and a regular old style clamp on saddle would work. If I had this problem, I would take either a wood mop handle or a dowel and try that first. Second if more strength is needed is to use a aluminum rod, and a lathe to mill it down to 23.4mm. Mill the one end to fit an old style clamp on saddle, if your saddle isn't already of that type. |
