Have others had probs with Rudewheels??? I must have missed it

cheers guys

i hadn't realised before the UL's were 13/16ths - got one in my box of bits from me mk3 suppergoose
which i never shimmed up or had probs with so assumed they were 22.2mm 7/8ths like most OS

but was looking for a post for me daughers junior sized AL frame ride as reg posts won't fit
and then i found out it is same size, 13/16th size as per PK's

and from looking at alans and rudewheels noticing the shim

its got red alloy bars (race inc ?) on now thanks to a most generous roonga
and a chain as well       so now the seat is sorted just a linear brake cable and full face crash hat for her

I am gonna throw a spanner in the works here as I bought one of those from Rudewheels nearly 2 years ago and it was definitely a 7/8" cro-mo post in it as I had it fitted firstly in a Redline 600a and then an MCS Magnum both without the shim cos I wondered why the shim was supplied.

I think it is the Elina's with the lightweight checkered posts that are 13/16"

[kdw712]

humm more to ponder then

guess i'll have get in the loft and find the thing and double check 

[motomagII]

[lazychubs]

Ditto Greg, Tried a chrome post in a Ripper, doesn't fit, in a TA, oui papa......

[kdw712]

now iam really confused.com 

[lazychubs]

[pickle]

My Elina UNI needed a shim to fit my MCS Magnum.....i thought they all needed them??

[brass monkey!]

i checked my chequered seatposted Elina, its defo 13/16th's, PK Ripper/Raceinc size etc.....however, with shim will travel....
