Title: TORKER PRO-X 22.2mm seat post ?
Post by: delbert on January 10, 2013, 07:44 PM

Hi guys

I am just trying to finishing my Torker Pro-X build but when I came to fit my 22.2mm seat post I found it needed a lot of clamping but stil it has a wobble or a little slack in the frame :-(

So I am guessing it's like some GTs where it needs to be 22.6 to fit snugly.

Any suggestions for some quick fixes or is it out to the work shop to knock up some shims?

Thanks
Simon

Well to be really Old school , make your own shim

you got to cut a 3" strip of metal  and long enough to wrap around the post from a can of  pop ,,, Quattro  , Cresta  pop , TAB  Shandy Bass  :)
