  • need some (shimano)dura-ace in 26.8...

  • After all that, I'm passing it back to Rik... I have found another so we can both get one and everyone is happy, apart from nuknow, who started the thread, and still doesnt have his post, sorry about that...

  • thanks Chris after all, we all are gents

  • still don´t, waiting for the bay.

  • F'king sweet.

  • bit stupid from me though....its 26.6..... lost the 26.8, went to 60 something quid.. but i like it so much i'm willing to stick with it.... or maybe not. I'm biding on another one 26.8.

  • mate just stick a shim and ride.

  • u know it

  • Have you seen this site?

  • Actually I do need a 26.8mm seatpost due to the new track frame come to think of it.

    Yes i knew it, but thanks for the reminder!!.. great stuff in there.
    And that shim is the biz,....but expensive!!..coca-cola can fts (for the save)

    Speak to mullerbugs, he´s got some sweet goods.

  • email sent to Hungary.
    @ed, I think I got a little bit overexcited with some good deals for 26.8 sp. will let u know later, might have one spare.

    Yes, that is a bit extravagant; I was gently taking the piss over the probable cost of being such a hipster that you'd rather have the wrong size DuraAce than the right size Kalloy.

    For much less money, and for a better job than coke can, go to a modelling shop and get some 0.1mm/0.004" brass or copper sheet, which has the virtue of acting as a corrosion inhibitor by the same mechanism as copper grease. 4D models in Aldgate have 0.1mm brass for £4.05 (250x300) or even better copper for £6.80 (300x400)

  • ...I was gently taking the piss over the probable cost of being such a hipster that you'd rather have the wrong size DuraAce than the right size Kalloy... nothing wrong with shims, but wouldn´t that be just wanting something (full dura.ace) that works at all levels, and seems perfectly reasonable?
    Nothing to do with being a hipster, I fail far too many times to really get that definition right.
    If you ride your TT bike with a campy groupset, does that make you an hipster? ;)
    edit: and the DA sp was the bargain of the month!

  • Now i really have it. strangely it seems to fit the 26.8 properly, but still going to use the shim.

  • yeah I have similar problem too, a simple piece of coke can sort it out.

  • I need a 26.8 seatpost in silver to complete a build if anyone has one going.
    thanks

  • Me too.

    Either silver aero or black Thomson layback.
