Re:

No sure Rob. I'll have a look the morra.
Are you wanting to try it for size because yer no sure what size you need kinda thing?
I've got digital vernier calipers but the problem when ye measure a seat-tube you can only measure the very top and on an old frame you can never tell if top of tube has been squeezed in a bit giving a false diameter.

Re:

Ay, I've tried a 31.6mm and it'll no go and 30.9mm is fair rattlin :facepalm:
Am gawnny buy a NEW post for this build and a dont want to f#ck it up.
I've had the vernier oot already and I'm no gettin a good measure due to the curve 'o' the hole :shock:
