Title: Redline fluted seat post sizes....
Post by: McQUEEN on October 10, 2014, 09:57 PM

I have just finished a RL20 Prostyler build, the pictures for which I've posted here in the Museum / members ride section.

I used a Redline fluted 22.2mm dia seatpost, and it took some tightening up.

I also have a Redline fluted 22.6mm dia seatpost, and this won't fit in the RL20 or an RL20ii I'm building now, without a bit of grease and a big push. The 22.2 will fit in both of course.

What was the correct size - a 22.2, which might result in a cracked seat mast tube keyhole, or a wedged in 22.6 that might never come out?

The 22.6mm is for the Redline PL24 cruiser, that's why its a tight fit, I'm also looking for a 22.6mm for my PL24, I have a gold 22.6mm fluted but its not the right one for the bike .
