help - seat post size?

[Brad]

Had my mtb bike nicked a few weeks back. replaced with a second hand one. Just had the seatpost and saddle nicked on that one. Very annoyed.

Seat posts come a variety of sizes, anyone know how i can find out what size mine is?

Maybe the bike manufacturer will have the specs on their website.... or email them

I guess the only other way is to take it to a bike shop who should be able to try a few posts until they find one that fits.

Measure the internal diameter of the seat tube?

Is this a joke? Use a ruler!

for a more techie answer i did have some internal calipers somewhere to get it more precise

This may be of some use. This Sheldon bloke looks nuts but this site is one of my main sources of info, the guy is as savvy as he looks mad.

Most bike shops will help. Withington cycles and Edinburgh cycles are bith realy helpful and close to town.

Rulers are great, but not when it comes down to tenths of mm's on round stuff.
