98 Explosif seat post diameter?

[Takingabreak]

I tend to notice the "steel is real" thing more with road bikes than mountain bikes. I think fat knobbly tyres on mountain bikes have more compliance than the frame material.

So I finally got my hands on a beautiful blue 853 Explosif, 98 I think...
Anyone know if it's a 27.0 seat post or 27.2?

Kona always said 27.0, but in most cases a 27.2 will fit a 98 Explosif better.
Fit the biggest post you can get out again - that way you put less stress on the seat tube when you tighten the clamp.

Good to see you contributing again Anthony.

The site could do with some accurate information, rather than my acquired ramblings!

I echo these sentiments! The number of times I've posted thinking, pretty sure this isn't right, I wish Anthony was here to correct me...
