Seatpost clamps

RobS

hey all,

Need a new seatpost clamp as the crappy nylon insert on mine has vanished and the whole clamp does not function any more.

according to Konaworld tech guy, the seatpost is 30.0mm on a Hoss, i cant tell enough measuring it, but even so it doesn't seem like Hope do a 30.0mm size clamp?

If thats right, what other alternatives are about that are good and long lasting?

Cheers,

Rob

The seat clamp for the Hoss should be 34.9mm.
I've got the kona one off my Kona stinky if you want it as I've replaced mine with a hope Q/R

30.00 or 34.9 - a big difference!

Wish i had some documentation to work with here!

Won't the post size and clamp size will be different 'cos the clamp fixes over the seatpost?

True enough yes, 4.9 mm different though? Does that sound right to anyone else?

Thankfully there's more standardisation when it comes to seat clamps than posts, typically coming in 28.6, 31.8 and 34.9.

The Kona being alu and made by Kona and so probably excessively oversized anyway, 34.9mm clamp size would be a safe bet.

The hope ones have a brass washer (which is self lubricating IIRC) so they work very well, and they come in pretty colours.

Always remember to pick your Uni according to the local trails or you'll be stuck with nowhere to ride for three years!

30.0 seatpost generally always uses a 34.9 clamp.
