|   Question for Thomson Seatpost Users | Wakka
May 22, 2003 10:38 AM | | Hi guys, I recently bought a Thomson seatpost, and was wondering if anyone else found the clamp to be a bit narrow in comparison to the rail width on their saddle? Is this normal? Should I just clamp it down to shape the rails? It's just a mm or so too narrow, but still, just wondering, thanks. BTW, I took the clamp itself to Performance with me to test it out, and found that a LOT of saddles (Terry Liberators, WTB's) were too wide in rail width, but the Selle Italia ones were seemingly ok...I'm confused! Thanks again. |

If you are concerned about the clamp not covering as much top/side rail surface as some other posts' clamps, trust me, it doesn't matter. Once you get it tightened down, the seat is not going anywhere! |
