Campag 2 bolt seatposts!

I have bought a campag 2 bolt seatpost for my conversion project but I have just noticed the heads of the bolts are at the top of the clamp!

How on earth am I supposed to adjust these with a seat attached? I have enough trouble managing it with a normal clamp.

Does this mean I can only use a Brooks saddle with it as it will have a little more clearance than the newer plastic seats?

with a tiny spanner. Until you get too angry and burn it, that is.

you have bought a patience tester, not a seatpost

it is possible and will make your will stronger

good luck :-)

Looooool! Glad to know I wasnt the only one with this trouble...

There used to be a special saddle spanner made by Campag for this seat pin.

It's shit, I know. Most of us made do with the cheap Japanese copies with sensibly placed bolt heads.

I have the special spanner, doesn't make it any easier... problem is you can only turn the spanner about 1/10th of a full turn at a time

you shouldn't need to adjust the front bolt much beyond finger tight

No one said it would be easy.

Campag has a long history of making things difficult for the sake of making things difficult .....

Even if you have the special tool .....

Assuming they actually make a special tool.

Yep heard of that tool and apparently these type of clamps are supposedly the best as need minimal adjustment. Still not convincing me at all.

I get fucking furious adjusting mine if it's with a saddle you can only adjust from the back.

10mm adjustable head ratchet ring spanner from halfords.....sorted ;0)

....not difficult at all a 10mm ratchet works perfectly all the time just adjust the front bolt first to get the correct angle on the saddle nose
