Hi all,

can anyone tell me what size seatpost and clamp are required for the 2008 GT avalanche 1.0?

I thought I had hit the jackpot with the evans site but they just state there is one...

    GT could tell you. Failing that I'd just check it myself on the bike.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    It's not my bike. I'm helping a friend out who had bits stolen from it while it was chained up outside his work.

    I was hoping to go to the local bike shop on my way home to pick up some parts. The seat post will have to wait unless I get lucky on here!

    I just upgraded with a 27.2 post with a 31.8 clamp for my 2007 Avalanche Expert which is the same.
