If you want to shim with class, head over to ACE and get a package of brass shimstock. The package has various thicknesses starting with thinnest to thickest. Start with thinnest :^) The neat thing about it is that you can wrap the post (maybe half way or a bit more), slide it in and clamp it do

Sun XCD rear derailleur, if you can find one. Look at MicroShift for front derailleurs. Though, finding ones that fit a 28.6mm seat tube are getting harder to find. Problem Solvers makes a adapter in 28.6mm, as to others, in silver. That with a MicroShift R9 braze-on front derailleur would d

[RBW] Re: Seeking derailer recs for a Hillborne build.

Three good things about the XT front: 1. Low clamp so the kludgy plastic doesn't show on the drive-side. 2. That kludgy plastic is light and doesn't dig into your paint, a thing recently discussed here. 3. It matches the rear for much matchy-matchy! But if I haven't talked you into using it y

Haha I was the one that bought Collin's Clem H from him (and eventually reamed out the seat tube like he mentioned), and before finding that solution I did in fact break the binder bolt off trying to super-tighten it. There was a lot of torque that it still slipped under before I eventually bro

[RBW] Re: Subtle, insidious seatpost slippage on my Clem H driving me crazy

My Clem H had the same issue. I called Riv and Grant told me to crank on the bolt until it doesn’t slip. He said the bolt or nut would break Before I would damage anything. I cranked and it quit slipping. He also offered the knurling option. On Friday, September 10, 2021 at 6:02:51 AM UTC-4 Eri

Re: [RBW] Re: Subtle, insidious seatpost slippage on my Clem H driving me crazy

Another anecdotal point...I tried the S65 in the hopes it would solve the slipping problem but it did not. The knurling on the el-cheapo kalloy that came with the Clem did, however. Collin, "It rained" in Sacramento On Friday, September 10, 2021 at 8:55:57 AM UTC-7 ack...@gmail.com wrote: > S

Re: [RBW] Re: Subtle, insidious seatpost slippage on my Clem H driving me crazy

If you want max torque to clamp the seatpost use a quick release type binder bolt. The one Riv sells is the Sunlite stainless steel version, 6x55mm, not to be confused with the other Sunlite version which just says steel and comes with steel spacers. On Friday, September 10, 2021 at 9:33:42 AM

[RBW] Re: Subtle, insidious seatpost slippage on my Clem H driving me crazy

Am assuming when you say you replaced the bolt, you also replaced the nut? I have found that nylock seatpost nuts don't allow me to fully torque down on the frame to hold the post. On my Clem, a Kalloy Uno seatpost, in black, seems to not slip as much. But my issue is excess body weight, not a
