    If you take off the clamp you have on now it should be stamped on there somewhere.
    I have a hope qr and its great.

    From the Boarman spec sheet:
    Seatpost: Boardman 400mm x 31.6mm black alloy

    From here -> http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=412
    Superfly QR Seatclamp £13.00
    31.8 and 34.9 fits the most common of sizes, 38.1 oversize version for bikes with oversized seatubes.
    NOTE: The size is the external diameter of the seatube on the frame, not the diameter of your seatpost.

    From the above, I assume you'd need a 31.8mm?

    I doubt the seat tube is made of ally 0.1mm thick (31.6+(2x0.1)=31.8mm), 34.9 sounds very likely!

    OE fit GT and Bontrager ones are both nicely made, solid and reliable.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
