Hi guys, I have a Voodoo Bokor which has a 27.2 mm Seat Post but I can't find any info on the internet saying the clamp size, I measured it and it measured at 30.31 mm using a vernier at work.

Been told I need a 31.8 mm clamp, Is this correct?

Just not 110% sure if you go a size higher or whatever...

    what does it say on the old one?

    if you measured it 30 then 31 should be the correct one.

    Another thing you may know, Will a 'KCNC Top Cap and Star Nut' - 1 1/8" fit my bike ok?

    Yes..... although you already have a star nut! and I have to ask 'why'?

    Bling and because the one I have in now is almost perfectly round... Guy I bought the bike from clearly didn't know how to use an Allen key. So may aswell replace it for a little bit more cost...

    Strictly neither top cap nor star nut are the rounded out bolt.....

    Have a few spare bolts (and top caps) and 31.8mm clamps if you want some cheap bits (PM me)

    I replaced my star nut yesterday as the old one was falling to bits. So a new one can be required. But yeah - if it's fine why replace it?
