So turns out the conversion frame I'm using has a 25.8mm seattube. I've noticed this has severely limited my seatpost options. I'm assuming there wouldn't be enough give to use a 25.4mm seatpost and have it grip any way at all well? Does anyone have any experience doing this? I'm thinking it would be possible to just shim a 25.4mm seatpost with a bit of coke can(ghetto as you like) or something? Anyone have any experience with this either?

Any help is appreciated.

It's a Falcon Team Banana, a knockoff of the Raleigh Team Banana so I'm not surprised they share the same seattube size, they seem to be essentially the same frame.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
