Seat Post Sucks - Elina UL

<< < (2/4) > >>

Peter J:
Paul,

Cut a long strip and rap it around the seat post, do a trial fit its too tight or to big cut a little bit more off until its a snug fit.

Do seat posts come in slightly different diameters?  Are there any tricks to giving them a little more staying power (grip).

PS: I will be getting ride of it but need a short terms solution..

Paul
