I’ve been experimenting with advanced CAD technologies (see attached) and have potentially found a solution to my seatpost problems.
Partially inspired by some nice bikes on the forum that mix black/silver really well (Sam, Tijmen, Maj) as well as some others I’ve seen, I’ve recalled that I have a 30mm Thomson seat clamp - which I’m led to believe is on par performance wise with the goated Salsa Liplock- as well as a black/smoke Chris King headset sitting on my lockup fixie which I’m not using much lately.
Soooo maybe I swap them both out with what is on this hybrid bike; making the fixie more lockup-able and the hybrid more instagram friendly in the process. Oh, and hopefully solve my seatpost woes.
This depends on a few things:
1) getting the slightly rounded silver Brother seat clamp off the bike.
2) putting the Thomson clamp on and seeing if that actually secures the fella in there
3) not having to rebleed the front brake. Can’t be bothered with that. Reckon it would be possible to dangle/support the calliper from the bottom of the internal routing on the fork and whack a crown race off then on again?
