Hi all, hope you are enjoying the nice weather.
I need a new seat clamp collar for my 2011 Trek Top Fuel ride. The allen bolt on this one suddenly turned to cheese so I had to saw it off.
The clamp said 36 on it, but I do not seem to be able to find a 36mm one. Would it be ok to use say a 36.4mm as it will be tightened anyway?

    No.....you need the right size to match the radius properly.

    Sure it doesn't say 35, which would be 34.9 and common.

    Otherwise you could ask a Trek dealer.

    I thought it maybe Nick. But I will contact my local Trek dealer to be sure.
