I was gifted a Synapse carbon 2012 with a slipping seat post and saddle clamp.
The seat post shows some damage to the carbon so should be replaced. I noticed that the thickness of the post seems to be 27.x mm which made me think to use an aluminum round standard seat post.
Obviously I would need a different clamp for the seat post. Is anyone aware of a replacement clamp for round seat post for these bikes?
I have thought about 3D printing some sort of insert and attach to a round post in order to create the D wing shape of the original seat post, but don’t think this is safe.
I don’t want to spent much money at the moment as I haven’t ridden the bike yet. Basically all moving parts are worn and should be replaced once I know it is a keeper.
