Probably a very stupid question.

Got myself a couple of 24" cruisers in the last few weeks. One is a DK Genral Lee and the other a 2008 Haro thing.

I got them as my missus said she fancied pedaling along the canals near us, she was talking all crazy about getting a mountain bike 

I got her the DK and she loves it, she would love it more though if the seat went up a little further.

I know nowt about new school bikes, do they make longer posts that will fit?, what size am i looking for.

Cheers

what size you´re talking. length of the seat post or diameter?

[TwoBobRob]

They'll both be BMX sized, so either 7/8" (22mm) or 1" (25.4mm).  Longer posts are out there, a couple of firms do a footlong pivotal post if you want to use a pivotal seat. If it's a conventional railed seat and you want to keep it, see if you can get a Primo Rod from a few years back.

You also could have a look at the MTB segment.
Most of their stuff (stems, hubs, seats, cranks... etc) you can also use at nowadys BMX´.

Cheers guys, I think the Haro has a post like the one Madd Dogg just posted. Think the DK has one that looks like an old school, I want to keep the seat on the DK as its got the "01" on it for the genral lee. Can you get longer posts for them?

Should have read TwoBobs post...... could have answered my own question 

Cheers Rob

...actually a nowadys Newschool BMX is a MTB with a 20 or 24 inch BMX frame. At least with the Race bikes.

Just wanted to drop this.

 Posts are posts regardless of pivotal,regular or micro -adjust.Pull out the ones you have on them already,clean the gunk off and they`ll prob have the size stamped on them.DK & Haro have used sizes other than 22.2/25.4 so best to check first.

 Just wondered why you think a modern racebike is like an MTB?Carbon/alloy aside...

Well, apart from the 20/24 inch f&f, the specific rim size (+ tyres) and the handlebars, in fact it is.
All the other stuff needed for a 2012 race bike is basically MTB technology you can get in a MTB shop.

So to come back to topic, it´s probably easier to get a fitting seatpost from the MTB supply around the corner, than on egay or in a BMX shop.
