Title: Mongoose Cali' seat post diameter
Post by: GREMLIN on January 09, 2007, 10:28 AM

Anybody know the size of seatpost to fit an '84 Cali'? 22.2 just drops into the hole, and rattles around. It does get clamped tight, but not happy knowing the post is not held right in the tube.    :)   Thanx,  G.

My 85 Cali is similar, doesn't rattle around but isn't snug. Seems ok when clamped though.

I'd say mine is a 22.6 seat post tube.  As far as i can tell it's def an '84 Cali'. Original decals show that.  Strange if they're supposed to be 22.2  :-\  Then again others Cali's are like mine.   :)
