My Fury doesn't have a quick release seat post which makes experimenting with heights awkward... Can anyone recommend one?

Also anyone know what diameter I need?

    Superstar sell some decent ones, for size either check the one you have, the size should be stamped on it somewhere, probably inside, or look in FAQ's for how to measure.

    I think you will need 36mm but I may be wrong.

    It should say on your current clamp.

    I've got a Powerplay one, cheap from Chain Reaction and it works fine and has done for over 18 months.

    I think fury's are 31.8, it will be that or 34.9, remove it and check inside.

    it is 34.9mm for the seatclamp. I bought a hope one in 34.9mm and it fits and works a dream.

    Mines a 2008-2009 Fury (grey one) ... Not sure if that makes any difference?

    The 09 is the one that getonyourbike has (white), I'd imagine the size to be the same though.

    The white is actually 2009-10... The grey is 2008-09. They changed them mid 2009 from the information I read although it's irrelevant really as they still have some of the grey Fury available for sale in the UK apparently but only in 16" frame...

    I do suspect they would be the same though!

    measuring it is the only option, take off you current seat clamp, them get a tape measure, tape type. Measure the circumference of the top of the seatube where teh seat clamp goes and then divide that figure by pie, roughly 3.14159265 (I remembered that from maths lol). That's the closest number i remember it to but it should do and give you an accurate measurement for the size of seat clamp you need.
