New trek 6700 - seat post clamp question

daz_mtb

Hi all

I bought a 6700 trek about 6 weeks ago - as a cycling noob I have already done 330 miles, which I am happy with need to get fit so cycling 10 miles each way to work (so far one day a week) hope to get to 3 days a week and quit the smokes.
Cycling London to southend last week helped keep the miles up. I plan to cycle a fair bit in Winter as this will help my "SAD" no end.

So far I have made a few changes,
Race face - good n evil grips
Richey WCS bar ends
Continental travel contact types pumped to 60 psi
Specialized Avatar seat
Crank brothers 50/50 xx pedals.

Heres a pic:



I plan to get a non quick release seat clamp to provide a bit more security for the saddle. But I am not sure what size I need to get. The seatpost is 31.6mm.

Anyone know the answer?

Thanks!

Hi Daz,

Nice ride, I was looking at the Trek 6700 when I first started researching 8)

Take the existing Q/R lever off and look on the underside, it should have a size printed on it somewhere

You may just be able to replace the QR mechanism rather than the whole collar.

For Treks with 31.6mm diameter seatposts use a 36.4mm diameter seat clamp.
