My knees are sore. This is quite sudden and a bit unexpected. I don't like it. Not one bit. It makes me feel old. I reckon my seatpost is to blame. It's so stumpy that I can't get my saddle any higher. I'm already perilously close to the limit mark. I suppose I ought to share the aching knees blame, cos I was reluctant to part with the cash for a longer post even though I had a suspicion that it was required.
So, has anyone got a nice seatpost that they'd like to offload? I'm looking for
27mm27.2mm diameter and with substantially more than 10cm of post above the limit mark. Send me a message if you think you can oblige (and if you don't mind a trip to the post office.) Thanks.Edit: turns out I need a 27.2. The moral of the story is that it's better to read the diameter on your existing seatpost than to try and measure it with your dodgy eBay Vernier calipers.
