Just purchased an old dawes and would like to get a new seatpost with an inch or two more length as the one currently fitted is quite short.
It currently has a birmalux seatpost size 26.3mm which goes in and out very easily but also looks like it has been greased in the past. I've seen quite a few 26.4mm and 26.2mm seatposts for sale from HilaryStone here on the forum and was wondering if you guys would recommend purchasing a 26.4 or the 26.2 and maybe using a shim???
any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Danny
