Seat Clamp

mastermosher

Hi, I wondered how I would find out what size a seat post clamp was.
I want to get rid of the QR one I have for a bolted one.
Thanks for any advice in advanced.

It may say on the underside of what you have.

What bike is it?

Cheers, never thought of that. It is for a Scott 31.6mm post if that helps.

Normally 34.9mm clamp

ever heard or a pair of vernier claipers??? a ruler would probably even be good enough...

^^^^ what he said.

Try a strip of paper wrapped round near the top of the tube and mark across the strip. This will show the circumference, then use a ruler to measure, divide by pi (not the sort you eat) and voila (that french for eureka) and there it is.

Cheers all. I have actually got a pair of 20 year old vernier pliers.

Why do you want to get rid of the quick release?
I had a bolted clamp and was wondering whether to swap it for a quick release. I'd be interested to know why you want to change.

Lighter, and often more secure.

I am after a non QR clamp for a more secure post due to thieving b*&$*&ds.
