OK, strange question, anyone know the diameter of a 2014 Revel's seatpost?

I am hiring one but have never got on with the Giant saddles so plan on taking my own, so figured I may as well leave it on the seatpost (27.2) and get a shim, as I recall Giants are an odd size, 30.9 or 31.6 springs to mind, of course all the Giant webby says is "Seatpost: Giant Aluminium"!

    I think most Giants are 30.9, aren't they? Their own dropper posts only come in 30.9.

    There's quite a wide range of giant saddles though.

    I've rented them before, the saddle is like sitting on a razor blade (for me), so will take my spoon on it's nice CF seatpost and buy a shim (£2.99, thank you wiggle!)

    At £5 for 24 hours they are a bit of a bargain!

    Thanks everyone.
